The symptoms certainly shout big bang engine, but there is little logic to introducing one in F1, you lose power and economy for no benefit.
Given the McLaren-Honda is off by 30km/h on the straights (according to Mr Alonso..) what kind of bang is going on? She aint too big..

It has been closed. You can still run through multiple engines for a single (race meeting) penalty, but only the last one utilized is added to the pool, not all the ones used like Merc did last year.

So... Honda had want to put together a big truck full of powerplants then.. if 11 laps is what they got out of an engine..

Maybe they can build a Velcro-powered system to get engines in & out... a mid race refuel & re-engine sure... indubitably...
