I surely agree on this.
I also agree that the '19 Honda engine is much better than the '17 version.
However, I don't think Red Bull has achieved anything that they would not have been able to achieve with Renault power.
Likewise, I have the feeling McLaren would more or less be where they are now - with a '19 Renault or a '19 Honda.
Comparing results is not fair, because there are too many variables at play (driver errors, management calls, bad luck, ...) that have nothing to do with the engine itself.
But that's just my view.
