It is well known that McLaren supremo Ron Dennis is not keen to share Honda as an engine supplier with any other team, but it transpires that he would consider it if, and when, the partnership wins the Formula 1 world championship title again.
Dennis told F1 Racing magazine, "Let’s get to the point where we’ve won the world championship first and then we’ll think about it."
Reportedly when Red Bull went knocking at Honda's door last year it was Dennis who exercised his veto to scupper any deal between the Japanese car manufacturer and the fizzy drinks brigade.
At the time Bernie Ecclestone revealed, "[Honda] somehow made a commitment to Ron that he had a veto and he doesn’t want Red Bull. Ron has said definitely not, as far as he’s concerned. I don’t know whether his veto will stand up legally..
Right now, and perhaps even the foreseeable future, another world title for the Woking outfit is not likely unless Honda ramp up their engine or find that elusive 'magic button'.
