cynic I see nothing new here. A big car maker says if the conditions are right, the rules are good, the costs are low, the marketing opportunities are there and if the tea leaves are aligned the right way then they might think about getting back into F1. Perhaps. Maybe. The same applies for every car company I can think of, its non-news to me. Yeah, same old thing - get in while it suits you and then leave when you aren't winning everthing. Not impossible really. I mean I've seen enough stuff lately to say Vodafone will not be in F1 much longer and that Mercedes and McLaren are going to part company fairly soon. Certainly I would already be in talks with Honda for 2014 and beyond if I was a team manager. It would be good to see Honda back IF they were prepared to stick around for a while. Quite frankly, F1 can do without manufacturers if they are going to come into the sport and then leave again within five years. Yellow journalism at its best. The article contains just four sentences and the news can't be confirmed or denied. I do wonder, is 8 million quid so dear for McLaren that they'd be willing to destroy a 20 year long relationship with Mercedes and its race and championship winning engine? PS: Ok, past 2013 this will be a clean sheet design engine, so perhaps it could make sense to roll the dice with Honda,
