Hondas motorsport chief Yusuke Hasegawa admits the manufacturer was not optimistic enough with the targets set for itself and McLaren going into 2016.Honda made a clear step forward this season after its difficult return in 2015, though McLaren still finished a distant sixth in the constructors championship. The manufacturer appeared to have rectified most of the reliability issues which plagued the 2015 campaign but only added 25 points this year, something Hasegawa puts down to a pessimistic outlook over the winter.?Of course we set a target, Hasegawa told F1i. But honestly speaking, the target we set wasnt big enough or good enough. So we werent optimistic enough with our target. I think the other teams were doing a very good job.Hasegawa suggests Honda inadvertently sacrificed some oof the potential performance gains this season by focusing so much on reliability.ddddddddddddWhen asked if Honda made the improvement it had hoped for over the winter ahead of the 2016 season, Hasegawa replied: From a reliability point of view, yes. But it wasnt true, actually.I thought in Barcelona that if we can complete the races then we would have a lot of chances to get points. But it wasnt the case, actually. So that is why it is obvious that we need to find more performance.Under the new 2017 regulations, the engine token system which has restricted the likes of Honda and Renault from rebounding from a slow start to the V6 turbo era is being scrapped.
