Fernando Alonso has warned there will be no significant progress from McLaren through to the end of the current Formula 1 season. McLaren's troubled first season back with Honda engines has been one to forget, with radio outbursts from Alonso during the Japanese firm's home race at Suzuka last time out drawing plenty of attention.
Regarding the rest of the campaign, Alonso said:
"It is going to be difficult to see big progress.
The limitations we have now are quite clear, and this requires a bit of time over the winter to make most of the progress. But we are still using these remaining races for some set-up directions for next year, some aerodynamic improvements which might come to some races, and some more power unit experience. We cannot forget that from now we will have the same mileage as the Mercedes team going to Australia for the first race [of 2015]. Overall this year we are down on laps, we are down on mileage on the whole package, but every lap we do we are learning something, so I'm sure some very useful information for next year will come."
Alonso's behaviour in the Japanese GP led to doubts being raised about his future with the team
