McLaren confirms Honda 2015 F1 return as engine supplier
Button blows up Honda engine in 2006 Australian F1 GP
Honda on Thursday confirmed its 2015 return to formula one, announcing it will supply engines to its 80s and 90s works partner McLaren.
"We're proud and thrilled to be joining forces once more to take on the world in formula one," said McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh in Tokyo.
Honda pulled out of F1 amid the global financial crisis at the end of 2008, with its Brackley based team becoming Brawn GP and then Mercedes.
Before the switch to Honda in 2015, McLaren said on Thursday it will continue to work "diligently and professionally" with Mercedes power in 2014, as F1 transitions to turbo V6 power.
Honda president Takanobu Ito said: "We have the greatest respect for the FIA's decision to introduce these new regulations".
