Junior team Toro Rosso’s switch to Honda is to be confirmed on Friday.
McLaren’s switch from Honda engines to Renault for the next three seasons, the same period as Toro Rosso’s Honda contract, is also due to be announced on Friday as part of a busy series of news developments at the Singapore Grand Prix weekend.
Renault will also confirm that they have signed Toro Rosso driver Carlos Sainz for 2018, to replace Englishman Jolyon Palmer as team-mate to German Nico Hulkenberg.
