[h=2]What to expect, and what to look out for, around the expected Toro Rosso-Honda, McLaren-Renault, Alonso and Sainz deals...[/h]
Same old same old Ed......'expected' might as well be just 'rumors'.
Be good if we could read 'facts'.

Lotta mumbo jumbo and too many if's.

Apparently quite a few hurdles to be taken, like how to handle Palmer's contract, McLaren would have to supply STR with a gearbox as Honda only builds the engine, and it seems Honda are not willing to pay STR as much as they are paying Mclaren right now (Estimated at about 100 million each year!).

"The rumours are gathering apace: Porsche is to enter Formula 1 from 2021, after purchasing the Red Bull team and making engines fitting to the new formula set to be introduced that year."


Who makes these quantum 'news' leaps based on ifs, buts and maybes?

Well, when there is no news you can always create your own (fake) news....... and no matter what you write, people will read it as we are all "news-hungry".

A fact is that Red Bull isn't really happy with Renault and that MacLaren isn't happy with Honda. The rest is all maybe and based on what if.

My common sense tell me that Renault perhaps doesn't want to supply engines to two teams who have proven that they can build a better chassis than Renault currently does.
Maclaren has already been powered by Porsche before and Alain Prost has already left Renault before as he didn't think their car was competitive.

But I like the design in the pictures Panther posted
