I know the link is in German, but for those who can use Google translate / read a bit of German:

The rough gist is that the Honda engine isn't that bad, and Marko believes it's comparable to the Renault engine already. He also states that the Honda team were heavily restricted by the McLaren chassis design / philosophy, and that with those restrictions lifted by Toro Rosso Honda have already found significant gains. He also states Honda are still pumping in vast sums of money into R&D, and that he's essentially been surprised by the PU performance given the flak they received from McLaren. Which leads onto his final point, a dig at Alonso, who he thinks is responsible for the falling out between Honda and McLaren, and also partly responsible for making Honda look bad.
So what do we think? Is Marko right? Is he just stirring because McLaren now have the same PU as Red Bull? Thoughts welcome.
