It was recently suggested that Audi will team up with
McLaren, while
Porsche will team up with
Red Bull Racing. A confirmation is still pending, but according to
Reuters' sources, the deadline for the decision is in March.
It has been known for some time that the
Volkswagen Group is interested in
Formula 1. Starting in 2026, the new rules for engine manufacturers are scheduled to make it easier for new suppliers to enter the sport.
The topic will be discussed at a supervisory board meeting in late February, but the decision will not follow until later. The site's source declined to give a name.
Scheduled deadline
The deadline is scheduled for the end of March, so Audi still has 2.5 months to make a decision. The site's source confirmed that the partnership is already on the table, but not yet finalized.
Volkswagen declined to comment.
