Honda targeting points in Spa and Monza

Honda still very much believe that McLaren can finish in a points paying position at Spa and Monza despite having the weakest power unit.

Spa and Monza are two tracks that consist of long straights, handing advantage to those with the more efficient power unit. However, Honda's head of F1 project Yusuke Hasegawa has called the progress made by the team "incredible."

"Spa and Monza will surely be difficult, Spa is long, power-hungry and technical, and Monza is mostly full-throttle, so it is different from a track like Silverstone where it is still fast but all-round technical circuit," Hasegawa said.

"I am not sure what the power effect on these circuits will be, but I don’t think we should be writing off points, so we will see how the weekends go."

"We haven’t changed our target, and that is to get into Q3 consistently, hopefully with both cars going forward. We have proven that we can be the 4th best team depending on the race weekend, so we want to be consistently at that level and always be targeting points."
