Whitmarsh playes down F1 engine speculation McLaren

Team boss Martin Whitmarsh has once again fended off speculation McLaren could be set to switch engine suppliers, amid rumours the British marque is eyeing a collaboration with Honda. "It is going to be McLaren-Mercedes for quite a few years to come," he told the Daily Mail. Whitmarsh played down reports the Woking based team is looking at its options because it will now have to pay for a 'customer' supply of Mercedes power. "I think we have got a very good deal with them, but I think more importantly than that is we have got a good partnership," he insisted.
