No there has been no
'official statement'. If Sauber switches to Honda, there will obviously be an
'official statement' released. That will be made public without a doubt.
McLaren aren't switching to Mercedes (yet). However, Mercedes is helping Honda with technical assistance to improve parts of their PU. The PU consists of six elements. Not just the engine. Their has been no
'official statement' from either party that this is in fact taking place. And I doubt there ever will be.
Just as there was no
'official statements' when Mercedes helped Renault and Ferrari with their PU's. But for most, if an
'official statement' has not been released, then it didn't happen. Not everything that happens in the F1 paddock is put on paper. Most things still work on a hand shake. A 'contract' or an 'agreement', means diddly squat in F1. They can be made and broken with a simple nod of the head, or a handshake. No signed papers required.
