The big news in Formula 1 today is coming from Paris — and no, it doesn’t have anything to do with the FIA.
At the Paris Auto Show, Porsche Chairman Mattias Mueller announced that the company would consider how and when to get involved in Formula 1. We detailed that earlier here, and here’s his key quote:
“With LMP1, there are two classes and two brands – Audi and Porsche. We do not like to both go into LMP1 [against each other]; that is not so funny.
“So therefore we have to discuss whether it makes better sense for one of the [two] brands to go into LMP1, and the other brand into Formula 1. So we will have a round-table to discuss the pros and cons.â€
It seems hard to believe that Audi would leave Le Mans racing for F1, so that pretty much opens the door for Porsche to return to F1. The question for you is:
Should Porsche return just as an engine supplier or should it come in as a full team, ala Mercedes?
Also: Why?
