Does Honda need a second team?
Should Honda supply more than just McLaren? Would Mercedes prefer a Rosberg title win? And just how different are the best cars in F1 to the worst?
There's talk of Honda potentially supplying a second team in the future. Did it make a mistake going only with McLaren when it came in? Might it have progressed faster with two or three teams on the grid from the start of 2015, or is there a benefit in focusing on one team?

In the initial stages, there is a benefit from supplying only one team.
But once you have found your feet, got the right personnel in the right places and understand what the supply chain has to look like and service, then increasing the supply to two teams will give more input and more importantly a different viewpoint.
