I am generally at a loss as to how to respond. There is no need to pound my head against the wall on this. But before I move along I will post just one example of articles that came out after the Canadian upgrade.

I think the only way to justify the stance the Honda is not making progress is to call articles such as the above as outright lies and that improved reliability is down to pure luck.

Lastly, I will say... avoid conflating STR/Honda with... Honda as a F1 supplier. It is like measuring Renault by looking at McLaren, or Mercedes by looking at Williams. Nothing against STR, but teams don’t always live up to the capability of the power unit.
