Honda are, however, confident that invaluable lessons will benefit their new season. The result was a lowly ninth in the constructors’ championship. McLaren experienced a tough 2015 campaign, as Honda struggled to make their new hybrid power unit reliable and competitive. The result is that MP4-31’s developmental trajectory has been usefully steepened over the winter, and I’m consequently very proud of our team’s efforts.” “We’ll make no predictions as to when those wins will come, but I can say without fear of contradiction that every member of our team has worked with truly relentless dedication over the past few months. “That purpose is to develop our team towards our shared ambition: to win. “As we embark on the second year of our renewed McLaren-Honda partnership, all of us remain united in our purpose,” commented Ron Dennis, McLaren Technology Group CEO.
