4 key guide lines announced which pretty much guarantee Porsche and Audi are in.

Pretty awesome. I would have liked BMW buying Mclaren personally but can't have it all I guess.

I think BMW McLaren are continuing with their agreement as McLaren has decided not to accept Audi terms but BMW has an agreement with McLaren on the production car side of things from what I understand. Probably a big mistake considering how bad their production cars are doing and Audi knows how to get an exotic company to become profitable.

It's still looking like Audi will go all in with Sauber and Alfa Romeo will become Audi F1. There's some news articles recently attempting to boost the value of Alfa Romeo so this is looking like a realistic scenario.

RedBull-Porsche is pretty much a guarantee at this point.

Gives some hope then. BMW needs that uber tier car and share tech with. Much like VAG/Audi did with Lambo. Mclaren with BMW electronics would be LEGIT.

Either way need to make more monies. LOL

For real. I don't want McLaren to go under

I think McLaren is trying to get BMW to develop EV for them.

I'm not a bandwagon, so... Redbull is not currently "my team", but once it happens, Redbull/Porsche (sorry Bottas) will be my team until BMW throws a hat back ... near the ring. haha... which may be never.

This pairing really sucks for me.
LOVE Porsche but Red Bull is the last team I'd ever pull for.

So looking forward to what this brings in the sport. And hopefully competition to inspire better road cars from all of the above manufacturers.

I remember meeting Keke Rosberg @Baselworld (TAG Heuer) back in 1986 and this car:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_MP4/2

(TAG)Porsche + F1=
And it was a V6 back then as well

I can't believe it... this has been rumored for so long now. So excited for this.

Red Bull Porsche is going to be a juggernaut. If McLaren gets their aero competitive again then both teams will be INSANE.

Mercedes power units to exit F1 in T minus....
I guess Honda had enough?

Doubt that's ever going to happen. BMW has no interest in anything F1 and they left Formula E. BMW just doesn't have the resources to spend in anything that isn't going to improve their road cars in any meaningful way. It's not like AMG road cars are juggernauts from their F1 involvement. But it would be pretty awesome to see all 3 German manufacturers in F1.

Latest on topic: Audi owns 25% stake in Sauber. Looking to acquire additional 50%.

Still trending toward Alfa Romeo becoming Audi F1.

Porsche is obviously an important name when it comes to racing though F1 will be a different game for them and well proven Honda will always be there if things don't quite work out with the Stuttgart group.

Just come in that Porsche will have 50% stake on RBR from 2026 and alpha Tauri will remain in RBR hands though it's not known if AT will use Porsche PU's.
