La 2022 season di F1 is going full speed ahead but there is great waiting for the agreement – which should be finalized by the end of June – between FIA, and builders who will be present in the Circus starting from 2026 with the introduction of new motor cycle. Audi e Porsche, they already have officialized entry into the top category, although it is not yet clear which team they will join.
There is talk of Sauber for Audi e Red Bull for Porsche. The confirmation of the agreement between the latter should arrive precisely on the occasion of the home Grand Prix for the Austrian team, scheduled for July 10, at Spielberg. But from Germany comes another indiscretion, because there would be other builders ready to knock at the gates of F1. Let's see who it is.
A possible return
Audi and Porsche look forward to the deal to close the contracts and get involved with the new, more simplified power units, which will take hold from 2026. According to Michael Schmidt, authoritative pen of the German newspaper Auto Motor Und Sport, to put a spanner in the works to a particular agreement there would be a return. HondaIn fact, is increasingly inclined to return to F1, Ea to do itmaybe working arm in arm with the stable on which he transferred resources and know-how until the end, that is the Red Bull. The relationship with Red Bull, although it stopped at the end of 2021, continued with the stay of some technicians and engineers of the Japanese house in the division Red Bull Powertrains.
The alternative for Honda
However, Red Bull, always according to Schmidt, it would be very close to signing with Porsche and this could put the Austrian team in difficulty if Honda really decides to return, courting Red Bull. However, there would be an alternative. According to AMuS, another option for Honda could be to apply ad Alpha Tauri, the first of the Red Bull family to believe in Honda in 2018. Honda, could even try to survey the Faenza team, thus creating a more autonomous project.
A fourth builder
There would be another novelty. The juiciest. The latest rumor that Schmidt launches concerns a fourth mysterious constructor ready to enter F1 from 2026. There are no names, much less countries of origin - even if a brand from the United States is assumed. The argument, however, would already be a topic of discussion in the paddock, which awaits more details: “Nobody knows who it is. Domenicali said that there will be more news after the summer break.
