being just "good" in F1 is not enough......they need a "better" engine......and if theres a slim chance of a better engine for free, then why not take the chance with your feeder team.......sound logic to me......so Renault would swap engines from TorroRosso over to McLaren......everyones a winner......and I'm sure the Renault will become "better" quicker than the Honda, so McLaren will be laughing quite soon

But there is still Mario Illien (Ilmor) in the background.....if McLaren have any sense they will use Renault temporarily for 1-2 years, but find Ilmor a partner to pay his bills......then they have an exclusive engine from F1's best engine genius......he absolutely understands turbo engines better than anyone
