McLaren and Honda agree to end partnership
McLaren has reached an agreement with Honda to be released from their
partnership and switch to Renault power from the 2018 Formula 1 season,
Motorsport.com has learned.
Honda's return to F1 with McLaren has been disastrous since it came back to
the grid in 2015, with a lack of performance and constant reliability
problems holding the once-successful partnership back during its second
iteration.
The relationship has become so fractious during 2017 that it became clear a
split was likely, with Renault emerging as McLaren's only realistic
alternative.
Sources close to the deal have confirmed to Motorsport.com that McLaren has
agreed a three-year deal with Renault, taking it to the end of the current F1
engine regulations cycle in 2020.
It is understood McLaren will get parity on power unit specification with the
works Renault team and fellow customer Red Bull, while Toro Rosso's deal to
switch from Renault to Honda – freeing up a supply for McLaren – has also
been signed.
The McLaren-Renault deal has helped move Fernando Alonso closer to signing a
potentially multi-year extension to his original 2015-17 contract with the
team.
Motorsport.com revealed over the weekend that Renault had agreed to take
Carlos Sainz from Toro Rosso as part of the agreement for Red Bull's
secondary team to end its Renault contract early, although it is not yet
clear when the Spaniard will make the switch.
Sainz has been linked to making the move before the end of this season, but
it is understood that Toro Rosso is keen to hang onto him for the rest of the
campaign to boost its own hopes in the constructors' championship.
