Audi issued a statement suggesting that the Volkswagen Group’s board of auditors had approval for the 2026 F1 entry.
F1’s sustainability efforts will give sports stakeholders a 100% sustainable fuel and electricity increase to increase their relevance as the automotive industry experiences a paradigm shift to electrification. He led to the creation of a central 2026 F1 engine regulation platform.
Its blueprint for F1 is undoubtedly attractive to the Volkswagen Group as a logical engineering and marketing tool through the Audi and Porsche brands.
Audi issued a brief statement after the Volkswagen Group Audit & Supervisory Board meeting on Thursday. He suggested that he got a go-ahead for entering F1.
“This gives us the opportunity to stand at the pinnacle of motorsport from 2026 and demonstrate” Vorsprungdurch Technik “,” Audi said in a statement.
“We are currently in the final evaluation stage and have not yet made a decision. At this time, new regulations after 2026 are not yet available.”
“These are going to be extensive changes to make the sport more sustainable. This is a prerequisite for Audi’s potential entry.”
“Audi Sports is in direct discussion with the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) on these issues. Our decision will be announced as soon as it is decided.”
Audi is believed to be trying to form its own team through the acquisition of an existing F1 team, but partnerships may also be underway.
Over the past few months, Audi has been rumored to be discussing acquiring a majority stake in McLaren.
However, Audi is reportedly considering other less burdensome investment options such as the Sauber / Alfa Romeo and the Aston Martin F1.
On the other hand, regarding Porsche, it is thought that it will enter F1 by concluding an engine supply contract with Red Bull Racing.
