McLaren's Jonathan Neale is confident Honda will produce a "massively competitive" engine on their return to F1 and the team will successfully manage the transition from Mercedes to the Japanese manufacturer.
Next season will mark McLaren's 20th - and now final - season in tandem with Mercedes power and Neale says the chance to reunite with Honda was too good a one to turn down. "We've enjoyed a very long and fruitful relationship with Mercedes-Benz but the time has come for us to review the future," he added. "There's an opportunity to get together with Honda, who are returning to the sport in 2015, and a chance to reignite that partnership. It's just such a great opportunity for us and we're really looking forward to it."
