I am not really suprised with Joest jumping to Audi. Porsche withdrew as a factory after 1998, and Audi and Porsche have a close working relationship, evidence by thier new SUV (not much difference between them, engine aside).
I have a hunch that after Porsche return (which conviently enough might come after Audi quit) we will see Porsche and Joest together again. Remember though, that Joest has not always had full Porsche backing, with the 96 and 97 wins coming along with semi Porsche support. Although I think in 1998 the team was entered as Porsche AG Team Joest.
