It looks as if the world’s largest automotive conglomerate, Volkswagen Group, could finally be entering one of its brands into Formula One! Which brand? Audi? Lamborghini? Actually, more likely than not, it’ll be Volkswagen itself. Rumours are that Red Bull Racing are looking to VW not just for their engines, but to bought over completely.
A deal between Red Bull Racing and VW Group isn’t that difficult to imagine, especially when you consider the fact that the two are tied to each other at World Rally Championship events.
Though a deal has yet to be inked, an F1-specific engine wouldn’t be ready before 2018, so Red Bull might have to look to the Italians for an interim powerplant.
