lipstick79 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2017 With McLaren ending their Honda deal at the end of the season (2017). For 2018, what badge will Mclaren be running? Will they be running as, McLaren Renault? Maybe Nissan. With Honda, McLaren have tried to gain access to the Asia market. Nissan IS Renault !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lipstick79 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2017 The McLaren Team name will NEVER change. It WILL always be Mclaren-Whatever PU. Mercedes found that out when Ron would NOT sell out. So Mercedes bought Brawn GP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakae 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2017 26 October 2017 13:25 (CEST) Dennis: McLaren initiated Mercedes split Memorable - ...you sell it, and before too long, say overnight, they will install a new CEO, and we can't have that. No siree! German take on this - conflict of commercial interest. Simple as that. McLaren is building something what resembles awfully and unnecessarily an expensive car, and MB has their own ideas what road and customer needs or desires. (AMG line up).

lipstick79 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2017 Confirming my comment that It WILL always be Mclaren-Whatever PU. McLaren DEMAND exclusivity rights. With the Mclaren-Honda deal. Honda could not supply another customer for 2 years. It turned out however that, Honda could NOT meet the requirements even for just Mclaren. It IS the exclusivity part that McLaren DEMAND, which makes me consider, that a McLaren Nissan is probable/possible. Red Bull, whilst use a Renault PU. It IS branded Tag Heur - so theoretically no direct comparison Indicating that, it likely will NOT be a Mclaren Renault Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
