Can Honda make McLaren win again?
Turning your back on Formula 1's best engine seems bold, but McLaren's Eric Boullier argues it is the only way to win, as he tells BEN ANDERSON
This weekend's Japanese Grand Prix is likely to be another unremarkable race in another disappointing season for McLaren, but in 12 months' time the Suzuka round of the Formula 1 world championship will once again become one of the most important events on the Woking team's calendar.
That's because next season McLaren will end its 20-year engine partnership with Mercedes to link up with Japanese motor giant Honda - owner of the Suzuka circuit - for a second time, thus turning its back on what is currently the best engine in F1 in the process.
