McLaren has no plans to make its own engine

Si McLaren is in difficulty with its Honda Power Unit, the Woking manufacturer does not intend to use its factory to develop its own engine.

“McLaren Automotive is a different team that shares some of the shareholders with whom we work closely, explained Zak Brown, executive director of McLaren. Their engine is a McLaren, but the team F1 has different economic priorities. So we have not had any discussions on this subject. We don't know what we will do in a decade, but it is not on the agenda. We are not engine manufacturers, we are a racing team and a manufacturer. »
