McClaren? No amount of excellent strategy will make them win races every week if they have a really poor car. Not even Alonso can qualify in the top three in that car, let alone win a race. They could win one but they would have to be extremely lucky and have the teams on top of them under-perform for that week.
Maybe it's time to dump that Honda engine for a Mercedes like they used to have.

That would the worse mistake they can do the McLaren. No car can win with a Mercedes engine except Mercedes itself . It's clear you will ask why now .
It's simple. Because Mercedes the top spec engine keep it for themselves and to client team they give a very good engine but not the top spec. McLaren is in the right path, this year Honda made steps of giant although we see only little improvement in the race track. I think 2017 Honda will bring a better engine capable of winning races. It may look a little to you but compared to last year Honda have won more than 2.3 seconds which is huge time in Formula 1.
i just one more thing i think they had on some race (2-3 races before) fastest lap on race so i think they improve big time considering 2015 year when they struggle now they took point in almost every race that is huge improvement
Yes you are right. It's strange in fact that at Monza circuit which is also known as "the temple of speed" for hardcore formula 1 fans , this year the fastest lap is held from Fernando Alonso with McLaren Honda with a time of 1.25.3
Honda has done steps of giant toward a better engine and they are working day and night. I think they are the only team who can beat Mercedes because of their radical concept of the engine. Ferrari and Renault can't cause their engine is almost the same as Mercedes. While Honda can extract another more than 100 HP to fight for the title next year.
