During the second half of the season, rumors of an impending deal between Red Bull and Porsche it was done always bigger. Then, that idea was definitely abandoned, with the Milton Keynes team explaining how the German company's proposal was “too invasive” towards the team. From what has emerged, the contract stipulated that the two "big shots" of the team, ie Marko e Horner, would have been handed over to the Stuttgart company. Ultimately, that signing never came, and Red Bull tacked on Ford.
Time is ticking for Porsche, Domenicali no longer believes in it
Still missing at the exchange of power unit regulation (which will lead to an increase in electrical parts and approx 60/70 more horses compared to this season), but it takes a long time to find a team willing to buy its engines, perhaps too much by now.
In addition to Ford, the new engineer from 2026 will be Audi, who bought shares in Sauber. If the negotiation that would bring a new team into the Formula 1, or Andretti-Cadillac, thanks to the latter, to build their PU would be General Motors, but we know how much the teams they don't want to a new builder because you would get to have less income.
“The more time passes, the more difficult it is”
Porsche's hopes of entering F1 are therefore almost nil and precisely for this Sundays to the microphones of SkySportUk he expressed his opinion declaring that he would be very happy to have them in F1, but he knows how long it will take to reach an agreement. “It would be easy for me to say that Porsche should be asked about their entry into Formula 1. However, I think they are really thinking about it if there are opportunities available.. Of course,the more time passes, the more difficult it is to be effective with a technical and commercial proposal. But I really hope that we can have more news in the near term. These are new power units, we are talking about new teams”.
