MONZA, Italy -- McLaren executive director Zak Brown says his team faces a "complicated" decision as it chooses between Renault and Honda as its 2018 engine supplier.

Now in its third season with Honda, McLaren has made no secret of its frustration with the Japanese manufacturer's unreliable and underpowered engines. The team is currently weighing up its options over its 2018 supply and on Friday held a meeting in its Monza motorhome with Renault bosses Jerome Stoll, Cyril Abiteboul and Alain Prost as well as F1's motorsport director Ross Brawn.

"This is the month we decide," McLaren executive director Zak Brown said on Friday evening after the meeting.
