Right now the McLaren has the best powerplant in the field, but they lag behind Williams and Mercedes terribly. Honda power won't fix everything, and Honda money doesn't make the chassis better. Look how long it took them last time.
As for the driver swaps, when it's official I'll believe the story. Until then it's hard to be sure where any of them are going.

All of them will have done. It's just a question of who's is the best.

My my personal world view, we can never make the deterministic statements like that. At best, we can make a probabilistic statement as in "it's highly likely that Honda will be lagging behind".
Anyways, I think that the success of McLaren Honda will also depend on how much McLaren and Honda are cooperating right _now_. If McLaren develops its chassis in obscurity separately from what Honda engineers are doing, the McLaren car can be another turd the next year. The comments of various exports through this seasons imply that engine packaging within the chassis is extremely important. That's why RBR is working more closely with Renault right now.Last edited by zako85; 14th October 2014 at 13:59.

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
