McLaren does not want to sell Formula 1 team to Audi

Last month, the Volkswagen Group approved plans for Audi and Porsche to enter Formula 1. Porsche is in extensive talks with Red Bull to supply engines to the team of world champion Max Verstappen from 2026.

Audi is currently evaluating its options. The German automaker, which is also part of the Volkswagen Group, may want to have its own team. The most sensible option is to purchase an existing racing stable. It is associated with Audi, Aston Martin, Williams, Alfa Romeo and also McLaren.

He would have stayed within the €500 million limit to buy the famous British racing team, but that is not an option, according to Brown. “We are and will remain the McLaren Formula 1 team.” An engine collaboration is an option, according to Brown. “When we talk about a partnership, the starting point is always to retain ownership of the race team.” McLaren, led by Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo, is currently fourth in the Constructors’ World Championship.
