I haven't been able to see any decent coverage from the testing, so I'll take your word for it.
Personally I do think that the chassis/aero looks promising, but I guess what I'm saying in pointing the finger back at McLaren is bigger picture. I had time for Whitmarsh but for whatever reason the team didn't flourish under his guidance. If it was his fault directly I'm not sure, but I believe the team is still recovering from this period, and the recent changes with Ron coming back and then leaving again cannot have helped.
For example- the size zero constraints imposed by the team cannot have helped Honda. Or Perhaps Honda were told not to bother making a run of the mill "good" engine - they must make a scorcher. When I learned of the axial turbo set up I thought it was a fantastic idea - if it worked. Maybe they are trying again to do something huge but have misfired with this attempt also. Either way I don't think McLaren are the innocent, untouchable team who have done no wrong, let down by a PU supplier who doesn't know what they are doing.
