"Reliable sources say Audi out
The source added that Audi’s preparations to develop the new engine “remains unchanged”, although the brevity of the statement will raise eyebrows in the F1 paddock.
The report from LeMans radio claimed there will be a decision to cancel the F1 project at the upcoming board meeting of VW this month. Radio Le Mans has proven over the years not to spread rumours or gossip and so this broadcast claiming certain proper sources in the know is almost certain to be true.
If true, this is devastating news for the FIA who have been courting both Audi and Porsche for almost a decade to join the sport as OEM manufactures following the mid 2000’s where the likes of Honda and Toyota were bailing on their F1 commitments." |
Somehow in the back of my mind I knew this wouldn't roll all the way with Audi and they are getting cold feet looking at Toyota's F1 demise.
Porsche losing out to RBR will probably just take over this Audi project with ease.
