Team insist they have had no contact "for many months"
McLaren have played down speculation that they may forge a long-term engine partnership with Pure in place of current supplier Mercedes.
Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper reported that Pure - the company set up by Jacques Villeneuve's former manager and BAR team boss Craig Pollock in anticipation of new rules in 2014 that demand 1.6-litre turbo engines - had been sounded out as possible replacements for Mercedes.
However, a team spokesman told Reuters: "McLaren has had absolutely no contact with Pure for many months.
"Moreover, the contact we did have with Pure, many months ago, was of an entirely informal nature, and was merely a courtesy gesture."
McLaren have used Mercedes engines since 1996. After winning world titles with Mika Hakkinen in 1998 and 1999, the partnership was strengthened the following year when parent company Daimler bought a 40 per cent stake in the McLaren Group. - http://www1.skysports.com/
