McLaren And Honda Heading For A Split?
McLaren and Honda are all set to announce their split, and the announcement is expected at the 2017 Singapore GP.
McLaren and Honda decided to form a partnership in 2015 to compete in the prestigious Formula 1 motorsport. Honda was to supply engines, while McLaren will concentrate on developing the race car and win races.
However, that was not to be, especially in the 2017 season. McLaren is right at the bottom of the Constructors Standings as there have been several performance issues and reliability problems and drivers completing a handful races through the season which has led to the slump in their2017 campaign.
The once dominant force of McLaren-Honda will come to an end as they are looking to announce their split at the 2017 Singapore GP. While there is no official announcement from both McLaren or Honda, the split seems imminent after a disastrous start to the 2017 season.
