Porsche is said to establish a long-term partnership with the Red Bull Racing team in the next few years.
Meanwhile, McLaren CEO Zak Brown said that the McLaren F1 team is "definitely not for sale", but still "VW is very preliminary. There was a conversation. "
On the Audi side, it is ready to provide McLaren with 556.3 million euros (about 75.1 billion yen).

Porsche is said that CEO Oliver Blume is considering participating in F1, but it is said that Audi has not yet made a final decision on whether to participate in F1.
So, Audi seems to be a little more subtle ... but Porsche will almost certainly feel like participating in F1 from 2026 or at the latest around 2027 ^ ^
