The problem with that logic is that you've got no way of judging how good last years chassis was based on the performance of this years chassis - it'll be a completely different design. So last years
may have been brilliant then this year they could have gone down the wrong route and come up with a pig of a car.
The general consensus in all coverage (TV, print, online) seemed to be that the chassis was the strong point of the package and the engine the weak point. Exactly how good the chassis was and how bad the engine was we'll never know for sure (and until there's more than one team running the Honda it'll be hard to judge).
