Honda
They started playing on a high-stakes roulette game and the bet went topsy-turvy!
This is what sums up their partnership with McLaren. Partnering with a team like McLaren always means that big things will be expected from you and if you fail to deliver, there is going to be enormous pressure on you. They found out the consequences of this scenario in the worst way possible and all eyes naturally drifted onto them whenever there was PU issue with either of the McLaren cars.
Forging a partnership with Toro Rosso means not only have they not given up on their goal of succeeding in Formula 1 but also they get to work without huge expectations. Toro Rosso have always been more of a 'final test' for Red Bull young drivers and that is why there isn't much that is expected from them, unlike McLaren. This partnership may well be the turnaround for Honda as the environment in their Sakura factory is much more stable and hospitable now that they don't have the burden of insanely high expectations which can turn into better results from the Japanese outfit.
