Porsche is seriously considering participation in F1
I saw an article a while ago, but I couldn't write it ... Recently, I've been feeling a bit sloppy about blogging, and I don't have enough time to write too much. (tears).
Well, as good as that, Porsche may return to F1 participation? The story.
It is said that F1 wants to introduce a new engine (& MGU-H abolished) with power from a simplified hybrid power unit from 2026, and Porsche may participate in F1 because of this. That thing.
By the way, the reason why F1 can not be a complete electric car race is that Formula E and its founder Alejandro Agag have exclusive rights to the FIA single seat racing series of full electric cars. ..
Well, I'm not sure, but there are various adult circumstances.
Anyway, it seems that it will be a hybrid for F1 that can not be a full electric car, and it is said that the Volkswagen Group will consider forming an engine tie-up with Porsche and Audi in the powertrain division of Red Bull.
Thomas Laudenbach, managing director of the current new Porsche Motorsport, is proudly saying, "We are seriously considering entering F1 and it is not a secret." However, Porsche is not really really rumored and is currently seriously considering participating in F1.
In this way, Porsche people say "I do not keep it secret" and "I am seriously considering it", so I think that this will be participating in F1 in some way ^ ^
Of course, it is still said that it is not a decision, but overseas media predict that it will be decided at least by the board of directors at the end of November or by the end of 2021 at the latest. It seems.
Mr. Thomas mentioned above also said, "If you want to race in 2025/2026, you have to start preparations from a certain time", and it seems that it is necessary to hurry as it is if you decide. ..
Porsche and Red Bull, and Audi and McLaren
Previously, it seemed that it was thought that F1 participation from the VW group would be "either Porsche or Audi", but in the current situation there is a strong possibility that both companies will participate.
By sharing the VW Group's engine project with the Red Bull powertrain, the cost of entering F1 can be significantly reduced, and Porsche and Audi each have partnerships with different teams. It will be possible to participate in the war.
So what are the different teams that might form that partnership ... and what's being said at this point is McLaren.
In other words, it seems that it will be "Porsche + Red Bull" and "Audi + McLaren"? ?? This is still a rumor stage, but after all it is a rich theory.
For the time being, Porsche (VW Group) seems to be positively considering participating in F1 while thinking about how to keep costs down and head for F1.
It has also been announced that Porsche and Audi will participate in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMDh category in 2023.On the street, it seems really possible as a flow.
Furthermore, since the manufacturers (VW Group, Porsche, Audi) are also aware that participating in F1 is "cost-effective", it seems that there is an effect that is worth it though it is costly.
Well, this is surely Porsche will participate in F1 in 2026, right?
I'm going to see it already! !! !! !! (Quick ^^)
