How about Sauber-Porsche. Now that Telmex will partner with Sauber maybe they can get the Porsche deal or rebadge them as Volkswagen which is very big in Mexico.

idk, I still say Williams will be the first team, because Williams and Porsche have a small partnership with the Flywheel KERS Systems, and the Porsche Hybird Car.
I still also say Toro Rosso. Because VW is a supplier sponsor for the team. I don't think Red Bull Racing, because they want to get there hands on a Mercedes engine. Don't know if it will happen, but maybe it will. I see Sauber switching to Mercedes power in the coming years. But I still say McLaren could switch to Porsche power after there contract is up with Mercedes in 2015. Porsche wont come in till after 2013 (engine supplier only) I still say the contract could end a year or two early. |

when I first read the story I though wow what great news, but your perspective on it makes me now think its better if the manu's just stick to what they know and supply engines. |

Actually whilst on the subject, you also overlooked Matra, French car manufacturers, who won the WDC & WCC in 1969. McLaren have also manufactured cars since launching the F1 (3 seater) roadcar project in the early 1990's... more latterly they built the McLaren Mercedes Sports Coupe at their Woking factory, and of course they are soon to be marketing (it has already been released to the world) their own range of road cars. You could also say Alfa, Maserati and Mercedes came close, winning WDC's in the years immediately prior to the WCC being introduced in 1958. They likely would have won the WCC to back their Drivers titles had there been a WCC from the start of the WDC. But I am splitting hairs really, the point you make is very valid. I know you are probably talking of Championships here, but both Honda and Porsche won races in their own chassis, powered by their own engines. (Honda won 3, one each in 1965, 1967 and of course 2006), Porsche winning the 1962 French GP in the hands of Gurney. Last edited by E.B; 6 Oct 2010 at 15:03. |

I don't think 'nearly' winning would suit Porsche - they wouldn't want to be just another Honda, Alfa Romeo, BMW effort that failed. Providing only winning engines rather than cars has never harmed Ford/Cosworth, Tag Porsche, Honda or Mercedes however. |

Surprised no one has linked to this article http://motorsport.com/news/article.asp?ID=390309&FS=F1 Official says Porsche can afford OWN TEAM. In other words, not an engine manufacturer, but a constructor as well.

Glad to see this thread has gone back to resembling something to do with the title!!!
Well that is interesting, running their own team might not be that surprising, as by then they may have already owned one for 1 or 2 years as the basis? Then here's another addition to the mix there's the Toyota Cologne premises with all that R&D Design and manufacturing facility. |

Back from the dead!
Finally we're getting somewhere. Porsche confirms interest as engine supplier. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/p...r-2021-949446/ Would be great to see them on the grid in 2021. |

Many companies have been keeping their eyes and ears open about the new engine regulations for 2021. They include BMW, VAG, Cosworth and Ilmor, and many have even been participating in the FIA meetings that are part of the process to decide on the new rules.
It doesn't mean, though, that all or any of them will actually be a part of F1 after 2021. |

And if Porsche feel they have a 1% chance of supplying an engine, then they'll only be making positive comments about the direction of the regulations. It is also prudent to remain aware of upcoming changes, otherwise you will always be playing catch up if you decide to get involved at a later date. A lot is made of how Mercedes have the best engine currently because they were involved in developing the current regulations from the start. No other serious rival would be keen to allow that to happen again. |

If VAG are really interested, they could be looking to find out which badge will best fit, or even if able to supply more than one team using more than one badge. |
