Honda only made the engines, didn't they?

I'm familiar of it, but it wasnt a factory effort. There were only 2 times in history when Honda could have logically "won" in F1, 1964-68 and 2006-08. Despite the Honda badge in the front, that championship is always credited to McLaren, who did the rest of the car.

I also note that they only wanted to make engines, which explains my statement to an extent.
