LONDON (Reuters) - The last three years with Honda have been a "proper disaster" for McLaren's image but a new deal with Renault will revive the Formula One team's fortunes, according to racing director Eric Boullier.

The former champions announced last week that they were ending the relationship with Honda and starting afresh with the French engines from the 2018 season.
