the first growl of Honda V6 power could be heard later this month, as McLaren has been hard at work mating the Japanese manufacturer's 2015 engine to an interim car.
It could run at the post-Abu Dhabi test.
"For logistical reasons we have until 15 or 16 November (to decide)," said Boullier, "but we are getting ready to test and monitor the systems and it could be in Abu Dhabi."

Alonso is believed to have sought a one-year deal that would have enabled him to join Mercedes in the event of a 2016 vacancy arising at F1’s latest behemoth outfit. Instead, it’s understood that the price to be paid for an estimated salary of £25m will be a binding two-year contract with an option for a third season.
An F1 grid without JB on it would surely highlight how farcical this situation has become.It makes me sad that there is a strong chance a world champion, who is still driving pretty well and has no controversies and by all reports is a genuine nice bloke, gets shafted in this driver musical chairs, while the pay drivers have sugar daddies that make them difficult to resist. And even then, teams are still folding.
Bring in the budget cap.

Administrator Finbarr O’Connell says that lodging an entry for 2015 was vital to any chance of a sale.
“With a team having an entry in the championship it makes them a far more viable proposition for us to do a deal. It’s absolutely essential,” he told the Associated Press.
“We’ve explained to the FIA and FOM (Formula One Management) we are looking for a new owner, but the paperwork for the entry has been done.
“We’re hoping the new owner will then pick up things like the fees and finalise the 2015 design.
$1.3B. Insanity.
But I like the silver McLarens. I forget which year, but when they introduced those ugly droopy noses a few years back, McLaren was the only team to not have it, which combined with the silver made it far more appealing than all other cars on the grid.
Buy Magnussen a drive at Lotus and bring him in when JB's gone.McLaren find themselves in a really interesting predicament with their driver lineup, for me. Button is a better driver than Magnussen now and very much deserves another year; but you can understand them not wanting to throw Magnussen out of a seat given how much he's shown in his rookie season. Could be a really good driver for, realistically, much longer than Button's got left in the sport.
Personally I think the acquisition of Alonso means that they're in 'win now' mode and should go with Jenson, but I can understand why they're struggling with the decision.

Amazing how simple things would be if a disinterested Kimi retired:
Seb/Nando
JB/KMag
Ricc/Kvyat
I love Kimi, but he seems like he could not care less about racing.Kimi gets a lot of worship at F1 on reddit. It annoys me - he's been deadset average since his return and Alonso has smashed him in virtually every race. Oh, but he's a lad and he has funny messages to his pit crew - so f***ing what?
You're completely right, if he is out of the picture then you wouldn't have a more recent world champion, a decent bloke who's still putting in the hard yards in an inferior car having to lose out.
Also, a team of Vettel and Alonso. Jesus ******* christ.Kimi gets a lot of worship at F1 on reddit. It annoys me - he's been deadset average since his return and Alonso has smashed him in virtually every race. Oh, but he's a lad and he has funny messages to his pit crew - so f***ing what?
