Honda does not believe that its bid to catch up to its rivals in Formula 1 would be boosted if it supplied more than one team for its comeback.
The Japanese manufacturer has endured a tough start to its latest stint in F1, suffering a problematic winter testing programme with McLaren that led to a disappointing race debut in the Australian Grand Prix.
While Honda’s troubles have been compared to those suffered by its rivals in early 2014, those manufacturers all had multiple teams to work with to resolve the problems as quickly as possible.
However, Honda’s F1 boss Yasuhisa Arai feels that the company is getting enough data from its partnership with McLaren, and that supplying more teams would not make a difference.
