It is disappointing, but I'm hoping this season will be a good test and learning curve. Then 2016 will see the return to the top for Mclaren Honda.

Did you hear Ron Dennis saying it wasn't the car's fault for Alonso's crash today as well?!?
Surely it has to take some blame :?

I dunno enough about it tbh.
Ron is a very hard man though, that's for sure...

No drama queen stuff from Alonso this season.
I honestly hope they get some wins this season. On paper the combinations of names is impressive and intimidating. I just want to see results, and would love to see Alonso get another world title before he retires.

I'm more dissapointed about the cars colour scheme. Nothing like the white Orange good old days.

I'm not sure if it's a permanent scheme or a temporary one.

Alonso and Button in a McLaren Honda is my dream team!

Favourite current drivers driving for one of the most iconic partnerships in F1 history.

Desperately want the new McLaren/Honda relationship to hit the ground running but from recent and current test times, it appears they have significant issues.

Alonso for me has been the best driver of his generation yet has not won a title in nine years. Jenson is coming toward the end of his career. Both expect immediate results.

Its going to be another desperately disappointing season unless both team and engine supplier can turn things around quickly. If anyone can, McLaren and Honda can.

No the Honda engine will not stand a chance as before. Ron will still be moaning and Button and Alonso will get the blame for not performing in a crap car!
