If only the Honda engine was in the back of McLaren's world beating chassis they would be on course to win the title

Congratulations Toro Rosso Honda! Great results for Gasly regardless of the retirements. Hartley had a rough race. Collision at start was minor, but his fault. Even with penalty he was in 10th place at one point.
In the end, it seems like this engine, that has its roots int the 2017 redesign, has promise. Let’s hope they can continue to unlock both power and reliability. I am sure they will still have some ups and downs over the course of the season. But so far 2018 is looking to be exciting! Richard |

I think in 2019 the main RB team have no other choice as Renault have told them they will not supply them anymore, it seems they talked themselves out of the Renaut deal with constant public slammings of the Renault motor.......so TR have to make the Honda motor work......well done I must say, McLaren have been made to look shamefully bad since moving to Renault, I don't see Boullier lasting for long there.

Well done on getting both cars to the flag, especially Gasly in fourth

In my season preview I noted that Toro Rosso will have a brilliant season with Honda.
Then it's seen I had the chrystal ball with me... |

That was a very good drive by Gasly! Finally a good result for Honda! Though both RBR's and a Ferrari DNF'd, 4th is a fantastic result Toro Rosso. Even if Gasly had finished 7th, that still would have been a good result.
Good drive by Gasly. Very good drive. Starting to wonder if it was the driver or the engine that brought on that result for Toro Rosso Honda? Considering the other Honda finished 13th?? |

Yeah, bearing in mind Hartley's penalty, there's no doubt that was a good performance from the Toro Rosso car (and possibly Honda engine), not taking anything away from the peddlers.

big congrats and very much a good showing but it is still only one race.
i think the biggest take away for the team and Honda has got to be the renewed motivation this result will provide them. very much looking forward to see how they play out the season with regards to development cycle, engine changes, penalty races etc. its going to be an interesting season for them. |

The odd thing is, you could argue the Honda has been more reliable than the Renault in red bulls hands this year.
