Ain't no shame in asking for help. Honda taking a page from Ferrari in 2014 and turning their PU around the following year. Hopefully this does the trick.
Autosport -Honda could receive consultancy assistance from Mercedes to solve its current problems with its Formula 1 programme.
McLaren's engine partner hoped it would get on top of its pre-season troubles during the opening races, but the run of woes it suffered during the Bahrain Grand Prix and subsequent test prompted a rethink.
Sources have revealed Honda has recently begun discussions with Mercedes about it potentially providing consultancy assistance to speed up work on Honda's F1 engine, which has suffered from poor reliability as well as being down on power.
Although it is understood specifics of the deal have yet to be signed off, it is believed the main focus could be on the electronic and hybrid area of the power unit.
Talk of Mercedes involvement comes against the backdrop of Honda ramping up its use of outside consultants in recent weeks.
