What the title says really. Apparently they've spoken to both Renault and Honda. Seems a bit mental to me to be choosing to switch to either of those manufacturers when you have a Merc engine in the back of your car. Switching to Ferrari power I could understand, but why Honda / Renault? We know the Renault units cost more than Merc, God knows about Honda, but Merc also provide RP's gearboxes. I can't see it being performance related, or cost related really, so maybe souring relations between the two? Or are Mercedes looking at a making a new B-team and thus dropping RP from their program. Could just be window shopping from RP and nothing will come from it, but I thought I'd share it here and see what others think.
