Found this in the BBC F1 gossip column on their website, bear with me as it is in German http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/formel-1/merced... but basically they're saying after 2012 the McLaren/Mercedes engine deal is ending, and that from 2013 onwards they will have to pay for engines rather than getting them for free (as they have since 1995). And that in weighing up their options, supposedly McLaren have contacted Honda about returning as an engine supplier, like in the good old days, when the turbo V6 engines come in (and we all know what happened last time McLaren had a Honda turbo V6). Better still, could this mean a return to the red/white McLarens? I know its Marlboro colours but surely it could be modified for Vodafone.

ETA: Bugger, didn't notice the other thread, mods please close this one!
