Porsche to return?

Quote:
Porsche could make a shock return to Formula 1 racing, Porsche’s new chairman, Matthias Mueller, told Autocar at the Paris motor show today.

When asked about Porsche’s motorsport plans, Mueller told us that Porsche or Audi, but not both, could compete in LMP1 prototype sports car racing; with the other brand turning to Formula 1.

This could add some excitement, and with there long experience of turbocharging and the renound durability of their engines, this could make real sense.

Is this the future for Williams? They helped BMW with building their LMP project and later helped them getting involved with F1, altough Porsche is now part of VAG so they can use the Audi knowledge as well.

Dan Fielden has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Audi F1, With Porsche support, (similar to Fiats support of ferrari), black livery with Lynx as the principle sponsor.

Thats my guess

VW are a sponsor of Red Bull(and Red Bull also sponsor the VW Dakar cars and the Audi DTM team) and Torro Rosso, so Mateschitz might sell Torro Rosso to Porsche.

Logistically not likely, with STR currently being sold with the Italian factory and the continuance of that team being based there a condition of sale according to Dieter Mateschitz.

I cant see Porsche being too keen on a team with an Italian base.

I could however see the likleyhood of Porsche returning as an engine supplier under the new regs.... and of course a Williams tie up, given their current (Porsche and Williams F1) joint ventures and technical collaborations with race/road car development.

Porsche as an engine supplier for RBR obviously! That would be great. I seriously doubt that they will do more than supplying engines tho

Williams also makes F2 cars with Audi engines.

However, VAG is linked with Red Bull in several championships (Dakar, DTM, SWRC), and that route could lead them to fight championships from te beginning.

It VAG enters F1, I believe that they will supply engines and not run a whole team.

And recalling that when Porsche appeared in F1 of the 1980's, it was made to happen because a McLaren team benefactor / shareholder (TAG) would put up the development costs of the engine in exchange for naming rights, with the Porsche designed, built and run engine running as a TAG engine.....

... potentially Red Bull could do a 2010's update of that TAG deal, cough up some development money and end up with a Red Bull powered Red Bull. That would appeal to the D.M. ego. (not to mention any Porsche beancounters)

(Cue headline Mark Webber changes name to Red Bull to get contract and team driver preference, so we get the the Red Bull Red Bull..... driven by Red Bull.

It does sound like good news. Would spice things up a bit. What team are they going to be supplying engines to? I hope it will be Williams as they need to get back to their winning ways.

Formula 1 is set to introduce the GRE, a 1600cc L4T engine. The Volkswagen Group have a lot of knowledge with this configuration, so this consideration doesn't surprise me.

It would make more sense to me at least for VAG to enter either VW, Audi or Skoda in F1 with the turbo 4 cylinders coming in soon, and enter Porsche in LMP1 as im not sure that Porsche want to run such small engines, then again, neither do Ferrari, but thats another story.

If you follow the link in post 1, and read the article, Audi aren't interested in F1 - apparently Porsche are. Not VW, not Skoda - Porsche.

Re the name of a driver being of interest to a team owner such as Mateschitz, I recall DM confirming that the main reason RB Junior picked up and ran with Scott Speed initially was because of his name being so appropriate and promotable, in relation to being like a fictional Skid Solo type of kids comic hero in motor racing. From my pov it possibly extended his career more than his abilities did.

But Porsche via TAG were the pre-eminent engine builder the last time we had small capacity turbocharge engines in F1. Maybe something appeals to their engineers about such engine packaging?

In the history of the Constructors Championship, there have only been two car manufacturers who have one it - Ferrari and Renault - yet there have been many failures. The failures have in some cases been able to produce good engines but have been unable to produce a winning chassis - among them are Honda, Ford/Jaguar and BMW. Other failures include Alfa Romeo and more recently Toyota, who didn't produce championship winning engines either.

However there have been 10 engine manufacturers that have won - the Porsche Tag being one of them. Four of these championship-winning engine manufacturers no longer exist and four of them - Ferrari, Mercedes, Ford/Cosworth and Renault - are still involved in F1. That only leaves Honda and Porsche who have previously won (in other people's chassis) but are not racing in F1 today.

All things considered, I think Porsche would be wise to become an F1 engine supplier first if they want to be winners. If they built their own car too they may find it takes a long, long time to win, if at all, the constructors championship, which would not be good for their PR.

Ferrari were against the introduction of the GRE and proposed a 1800cc V6 normally-aspirated engine. However, it seems a compromise was found within the Engine Working Group: a 1600cc four-cylinder turbo-engine, with both straight and V-configurations allowed.

With the Volkswagen Group in both Endurance Racing and Formula 1, its very likely that the ACO will adopt the GRE as well. In fact, it was Audi's Ulrich Baretzky to be the first to propose it.

Lynx, as in the BOderant? Apart from the UK and Ireland it's known as AXE everywhere else. Or do you mean Lynx couriers?

My 2 cents...

If Porsche does come into F1, it wont be till after 2013. Because if the new F1 engine rules. I see them coming in as ONLY a engine supplier.

What team? I think either Williams, Toro Rosso. MAYBE Red Bull Racing, and McLaren. The reason why I said McLaren, because McLaren sign with Mercedes till 2015 (i think). But It could be cut short. We all know how it is in F1, contracts could be terminated early.

Besides McLaren and Porsche does have history together.
