McLaren and Honda's relationship appears to have reached breaking point amid reports the Woking team have asked for Yasuhisa Arai to be removed.

Arai, Honda's beleaguered chief motorsport officer, is under intense pressure after a series of promises went undelivered and the team produced little sign of progress after a dismal start to their renewed partnership.

Arai was grilled by the assembled media following qualifying at Monza in what was described by Sky F1's Ted Kravitz as a 'brutal interrogation'.

Arai batted away suggestions that he should resign and, to widespread incredulity, reiterated his belief that Honda's engine was better than Renault's.

According to The Daily Mail, 'McLaren are so exasperated at Honda's woeful performance that they have written to the company's president, Takahiro Hachigo, calling on him to replace Arai'.

Sky sources understand that it is true that McLaren CEO Ron Dennis has written to Honda although the exact contents of the dispatch are unknown.

With McLaren on course for their worst constructors' championship finish since 1980, the loss of prize-money revenue could have a major impact on the team's future prospects.

"It's difficult days for McLaren. They're going to finish eighth or ninth in the world championship, so they're going to lose a huge amount of TV income," added Brundle.

"They're not getting sponsors into the team, they might lose sponsors; their drivers look like they're just starting their Formula Ford careers - they've no sponsors on them.

"I know Honda are putting a lot of money in, but it's a big team with big overheads. You've got to look at it and think 'this needs to change soon'."

Matters showed no sign of improving on the track for the team on Sunday. While Button finished just 14th, Alonso retired from 15th with three laps remaining of what was another forgettable race for the team.

Als ze Manor en Sauber eruit gooien wel. Manor met Mercedes motoren en Sauber met Honda, aangezien ik gelezen heb dat Renault voorlopig geen customer teams meer wil. En dat het uberhaupt nog niet zeker is dat ze Lotus overnemen.
Lotus schijnt nog andere gegadigden te hebben voor overname volgens teambaas Mathew Carter, omdat de plannen van Renault niet zo gunstig zijn voor de huidige aandeelhouders.

Maar vandaag is in ieder geval de hoorzitting die bepaalt of Lotus 'in administration' gaat. Daarna zullen we wel weer meer horen.

En ook de relatie McLaren - Honda staat onder druk volgens Sky Sports

The Mercedes board has decided not to supply Formula 1 engines to Red Bull in the future, AUTOSPORT understands.

The news comes the day after it emerged Red Bull will not use Renault power next year, despite having a contract in place with the French manufacturer through to the end of 2016.

Red Bull is understood to have issued a document requesting a termination of its agreement that will be accepted by Renault.

Given the severe breakdown in the relationship between Red Bull and Renault, given the unreliability of the French manufacturer's power unit, the former approached Mercedes enquiring about a supply.

The Mercedes board has now looked at it, with AUTOSPORT sources confirming Daimler chairman Dieter Zetsche has decided to bring the tentative discussions to an end following his visit to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix at the weekend.

The thinking behind the move is Mercedes has waited 60 years to find itself in such a position back at the top of F1, and it has no intention of helping out a team with Red Bull's resources become a serious challenger to its success.

When asked ahead of the Italian GP weekend if Mercedes should supply Red Bull with engines, reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton expressed doubts.

"If we're serious about winning the world championship, probably not," said Hamilton.

"Red Bull is a great team, but it's like giving Ferrari our engines.

"We don't really need it. We are good where we are."

Only recently Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff told AUTOSPORT the matter was up in the air as there were pros and cons to the prospect.

At the time, Wolff said: "Supplying one of your championship contenders with big resources, it needs to be carefully judged and balanced as to whether we would want to do that.

"But then from a global perspective, Red Bull is a really phenomenal brand that attracts younger audiences and consumers.

"Therefore you cannot wipe it off the table and say, 'From the team's perspective it doesn't make any sense, so we are not looking at it'."

It would appear to leave Red Bull with the sole fall-back option of getting Ferrari engines, although as of last week it is believed no approach had been made to the Italian marque.

Ik denk niet dat Honda aan een ander team gaat leveren.

Zoals het er nu uitziet heeft de FIA geen andere mogelijkheid dan de limiet voor het leveren aan andere teams op te rekken naar 5 teams

Dan wordt het als volgt

Ferrari: Ferrari, Sauber, Haas, Red Bull, Toro Rosso
Mercedes: Mercedes, Williams, Force India, Manor
Honda: McLaren
Renault: Renault

Mocht Renault alsnog besluiten om uit de F1 te stappen blijft Lotus (mits ze de winter overleven) bij Mercedes.
