Mercedes have shown their interest to buy the rest of the McLaren shares the German press is suggesting. The team is currently owned by Mercedes (40%), Mansour Ojjeh (30%) and team principal Ron Dennis (30%). Mercedes motorsport chief Norberg Haug said it could be an option.
"There is an option to buy them indeed," Haug admitted to Motorsport Aktuell. "But there are no decisions taken to buy them. Of course if we would want to own a Formula One team ourselves the best option would be McLaren for us. There wouldn't be a better partner."

I don't see why MB has to buy Mclaren outright in order to realize that they have great engines and engineering in their own house (i.e. AMG).
