Daniel Ricciardo is the Toro Rosso driver leading the race to step up to Red Bull next season, according to his team boss Franz Tost. Earlier this month, Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko gave his support to Ricciardo, saying he is the "better" driver to replace Mark Webber should the 36-year-old leave at the end of this season. Ricciardo has proven to be Toro Rosso's best driver in the opening stint of this year's Championship, scoring seven points to Jean-Eric Vergne's one. Added to that, the 23-year-old has also outqualified his team-mate four out of five times while also securing the team's only top-ten grid position of the campaign. "Well, performance is all that matters and you definitely can see that Daniel with 11 races more under his belt - which is more than half of a season - is probably in a better situation," Tost told the official F1 website. "Right now he has the upper hand, which we have seen in Barcelona. But that is a snapshot right now. Generally I would say that both would fit into the Red Bull concept." However, the team boss has mixed feelings about whether either driver is ready for the job. "At the moment I would answer with a 'yes and no'. "Both would have to demonstrate an exceptionally good second half of the season, because don't forget we are speaking about the World Champions, so the requirement profile is quite different to being with a team like Toro Rosso. "But don't get me wrong, both are on a very good path and everything will depend on the next couple of months as to whether one of the two of them - should the need be there - qualify for Red Bull Racing." http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8715788/Tost-Ricciardo-topping-the-list more good news!

Honda has confirmed that it will return to Formula 1 in 2015 as engine supplier to McLaren. The Japanese manufacturer has not competed in F1 since shutting its works team at the end of 2008, but has decided to return as a result of the change to 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 engines. Honda president Takanobu Ito said it was a "joint project with McLaren" and that the team will be renamed McLaren-Honda. Honda has been known to have been in talks with McLaren for some time and has already made significant progress with its all-new 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 Formula 1 engine, working out of its R&D facility in Tochigi, Japan. It previously supplied McLaren with engines from 1988-1992, winning both the drivers' and constructors' championship four times. McLaren boss Martin Whitmarsh hailed the new deal, saying: "Together Honda and McLaren have a great legacy; we formed a uniquely successful partnership that took on and beat the world. "Together, we created some of the greatest, most iconic Formula 1 moments of all time which are still being talked about today all around the world. "McLaren and Honda are about to embark on a new and extremely exciting adventure together, so on behalf of everyone at McLaren and also everyone that loves F1, I am delighted to welcome Honda back to sport." Whitmarsh admitted that the previous success of McLaren-Honda creates huge weight of expectation. But he believes the Japanese manufacturer is the ideal partner for the team to ensure it is successful in the future. "For everyone that works for the company, the weight of our past achievements lies heavily on our shoulders," he said. "It's a partnership synonymous with success. "Together, during the 80s and the 90s, McLaren and Honda won 44 grands prix and eight world championships. "Together, in 1988, we created the most successful Formula 1 car of all time, the all-conquering McLaren-Honda MP4/4 which was driven to victory 15 times out of 16 by Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. "Honda has an unrivalled pedigree as a manufacturer of turbocharged engines, making it the perfect engine partner for McLaren as we strive to deliver future success in F1. "As we look to the future, Honda and McLaren are utterly committed to maintaining that legacy and to being successful once more." http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/107442 f**k yeah!!!

McLaren opted not to run its latest-specification front wing in qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix because it did not have the chance to check it would pass the FIA's bodywork flexibility tests. A pair of new front wings reached Barcelona overnight, but ahead of Saturday morning practice the decision was made not to risk running them without checking. "It was very tight," said team principal Martin Whitmarsh when asked why the new front wing design was not used. "We were unable to be confident that they complied legally and we took the decision that unless you are confident in the compliance of the wings then you shouldn't use them." McLaren had hoped to test the flexibility of the parts on the FIA test apparatus but did not get the opportunity to do so before free practice. While the wings complied with the regulations when tested in-house, the team did not want to leave itself open to disqualification should its tolerances have been incorrect. "You will see people queuing down at what is known as the 'bridge of doom' and it's the tests that go on there that determine whether the car is legal or not. "We and other teams test parts before they are here, the tolerances of stiffness and dimensions is very tight. "Everyone does their own test but everyone tests on critical issues on the FIA equipment. "If you can't do that, given the tolerances, you have got inherent risk." Whitmarsh did not blame the FIA for not being able to test the wing, accepting that the apparatus did not have to be available to McLaren when it wanted to use it. "The hope was that we would have the ability to get onto the rig but in fairness to the FIA, they have got no obligation to make it available to use early on a Saturday morning so there is no criticism of them - that was the chance that we took. "Without that check, it wasn't prudent to go forward." http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/107364
