Honda have announced that they will return to Formula 1 from 2015 as engine supplier to McLaren.
The Japanese manufacturer has long been linked with reuniting with McLaren from the end of next season, to end a near-two decade relationship with Mercedes.
McLaren boss Martin Whitmarsh is confident that the new deal could lead to many title-winning seasons.
"Together Honda and McLaren have a great legacy," Whitmarsh said.
"As we look to the future Honda and McLaren are utterly committed to maintaining that legacy and being successful once more."
Honda previously competed in F1 in 2008 before quitting due to worldwide financial crisis.
