OTOORIDE- Honda: McLaren Formula 1 team struggled to adapt to change. McLaren and Honda have agreed to end their relationship after three trouble some seasons,with McLaren switching to Renault and Honda teaming up with Toro Rosso.

Yamamoto, the general manager of Honda's motorsport division, hinted that Toro Rosso will be more open to change than McLaren proved.

"Working with McLaren, I've realised that they are a very big company which is very systematic," said Yamamoto in an interview on the Honda Racing website.

"It's obviously very strong because of that but at the same time they can find ithard to adapt to change.

"Compare that to Toro Rosso, it is a company that is growing. It is very important for us to work in partnership together, heading towards the same goal.

"So for us we are very much looking forward to being able to work closer.

"Take this for an example: If we compare both teams with different cuisines, let's say McLaren is a very sophisticated Frenchcuisine, that's the way it is.

"Then Toro Rosso is more like a countryside, homemade, delicious stew where you can add new ingredients.We're excited to do that."
