LONDON (Reuters) - BP and its Castrol brand will supply the McLaren Formula One team with fuel and lubricants this season in addition to rivals Renault. Honda-powered McLaren said in a statement on Friday that BP will also supply products for sportscar maker McLaren Automotive. The team last won a race in 2012. The announcement had been expected and continues a shake-up that started in December when ExxonMobil ended its 21-year partnership with McLaren and switched to Red Bull. The factory Renault team announced last month that BP and Castrol were replacing French oil company Total as their official fuel and lubricant supplier this season.
