Diess said that the team will not use the name of Volkswagen, but Porsche and Audi will compete separately under their own names. Dies believes that the rules of F1 in 2026 will be changed significantly, and this is a great opportunity to join F1. And this change has brought almost everyone back on the same starting line.
The large changes in the rules mentioned by Dies mean that from 2026, F1 cars will be fully equipped with more environmentally friendly synthetic oils, and the engines will be electrified to a greater extent (according to the statement released by the FIA last week, the proportion of motor power in the F1 powertrain will reach 50% in 2026).
At present, Porsche's way to enter F1 is basically clear, and it is expected to cooperate with Red Bull. Audi has previously had rumors about buying mcLaren's F1 racing division, although it turned out to be a rumor, but it also shows that Audi has been in contact with McLaren racing team. In addition to this, Audi is also rumored to be with Williams and Sauber teams. There was contact.
