Negativity? Disappointed? Just saying how things are.
McLaren-Honda actually makes teams like Jaguar Racing, Toyota and BAR-Honda look good.
We can come back and discuss again, when McLaren is able to fight against Ferrari, Williams and Red Bull for top 3 and top 5 placings. And not on an odd occasion, but regularly.

"This whole weekend has been better than I expected," the Spaniard reflected after a race in which he ran as high as eighth before engine gremlins forced him to retire.
"The main positive to take away is the fact that we were able to run with other cars - Jenson [Button] and I weren't simply fighting with each other. That was the first step we needed to take, and we've taken it already.
"Indeed, our race pace was surprisingly good; I was running with the pack, and I was even able to catch the Red Bulls before the pit-stops. That was a nice surprise

McLaren is pushing on with aerodynamic development while Honda focuses on getting its power unit up to speed. The most notable update seen on the MP4-30 chassis at Malaysia is the addition of an S-duct in the nose cone, undoubtedly pushed by Petr Prodromou who worked on the feature with Red Bull in recent years.
Similar to the inlet on the Red Bull RB11, air is caught via a wide channel underneath the entire span of the nose cone, with the outer extremities however feeding channels to provide cockpit cooling rather than the S-duct. Different however is that on the McLaren, the duct splits in two, provided an exit on each side of the pitot tube hub fixed on the car's centreline atop the monocoque.

McLaren a company where beards are only allowed if they’re immaculately kept.
