Instability key to fallout

Following the announcement of BRM’s takeover of J-Sport, McLaren’s TP, /u/UltimateBMWfan, has announced that the technical partnership deal between J-Sport and McLaren has fallen through. As a result of the instability of J-Sport due to a recent staff mass exodus, as well as a key negotiator, former J-Sport member /u/InfinityGCX, leaving the team, McLaren has become increasingly unsure as to whether J-Sport would have the ability to pay for it’s part in the technical partnership deal and customer engine supply.

The future of /u/InfinityGCX

It remains to be seen which team /u/InfinityGCX will go to, but there are strong rumors that link him to taking up a position at McLaren after being approached. However, he has also been approached by other teams, so nothing is set in stone.

Haas-McLaren deal?

There are many rumors surrounding the Haas MF1 team, who have announced their bid to enter the 2016 Model F1 season. Haas have announced a Honda engine deal, but many are touting a further partnership deal between Haas and McLaren. The rumors are supported by the fact that the Haas Team Principal, /u/MistmanX, is still working at McLaren as one of their senior staff members. It is known that /u/UltimateBMWfan and /u/MistmanX have a close working relationship, and as a result, could play a role in a partnership or sister team deal between the two teams.
