SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Formula One engine supplier Honda, having parted ways with McLaren, is setting its sights on challenging among the top-three next season with new partners Toro Rosso, a senior executive said. McLaren and Honda announced a long-awaited divorce on Friday, calling time on a troubled three-year partnership. As part of the complex deal, McLaren will join forces with Renault who agreed a split with Toro Rosso, freeing the Red Bull-owned team to take up McLaren's Honda supply starting next year. A more harmonious relationship with Toro Rosso and the desire to prove a point to McLaren may well fire Honda's Formula One ambitions with fresh impetus. "Toro Rosso is not Ferrari, Mercedes, we have another infrastructure," said Tost.
