McLaren racing director Eric Boullier has revealed the team will be working non-stop between now and the start of the 2018 season in order to recover two weeks of development time it lost during contract negotiations as it prepares to switch to Renault engines.

Toro Rosso technical director James Key admits the team faces challenges adapting its 2018 car design to incorporate its new Honda power units after the deal was confirmed in Singapore.

Toro Rosso will use Honda power units from the 2018 Formula 1 world championship in a ‘multi-year deal’.

As the Formula 1 paddock prepares for the ‘mega-deal’ announcements in Singapore, it appears the 2018 engine agreements could have a knock-on effect at Red Bull for 2019.

McLaren’s expected split from Honda is set to be announced in Singapore as part of the mega-deal of ‘dominoes’ which will see Renault become its engine supplier for 2018 with Honda turning to Toro Rosso as part of the biggest shake-up for next season.

Fernando Alonso says McLaren-Honda must target points at the Singapore Grand Prix as it is expected to play to the strengths of the MCL32 package after a frustrating two races in Belgium and Italy.

Marc Marquez wins a wet San Marino MotoGP after a last lap pass on Danilo Petrucci, putting him tied on points with third place Andrea Dovizioso at the top of the world championship. Valentino Rossi missed his home event due to leg fractures in an enduro training accident.

Honda factory rider Takumi Takahashi will team-mate up with Stefan Bradl for two rounds of the 2017 World Superbike championship at Portimao and Jerez, switching in for Davide Giugliano as stand-in rider.

McLaren would be interested in developing its own Formula 1 engine from 2021 so long as the new regulations are economically viable and attractive enough, according to executive director Zak Brown.

Fernando Alonso says he’s helping McLaren-Honda team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne by towing him down the long straights in order to maximise his opportunity in qualifying, after the Belgian driver produced a similar feat for him at Spa.

Fernando Alonso has denied he retired from the Belgian Grand Prix prematurely as a move to throw his weight around at McLaren-Honda as its future hangs in the balance.

Despite stepping down as Formula 1 deputy race director at the end of 2016, Herbie Blash has turned away a quieter life having taken an advisory role as part of Yamaha’s World Superbike project as the team continues to gain further support from Japan.

MotoGP champion and 2017 Czech Republic Grand Prix winner Marc Marquez spent Monday's Brno test trying to adapt his Honda for the hard acceleration areas at this weekend's Austrian round.

Following Sunday's Czech Republic MotoGP, most riders returned to the Brno circuit for an official test.

Dani Pedrosa admits he was ‘one lap too late’ when it came to switching bikes in the flag-to-flag race at Brno, but the Repsol Honda rider otherwise had few complaints after finishing as the runner-up.
