The article is in German but the basic jist is that Wolfgang Dürheimer is pondering an F1 entry in the distantish future. In the age of the privateer, perhaps another car company entering would be a good thing for F1? They couldn't be worse than HRT anyway.....

Audi F1? Bentley F1? Skoda F1? Porsche F1? VWF1?

Which has the nicest ring?

2018? This is a non-story. They said they were thinking about entering in 2014 and we all got excited. I'll wait til nearer the time before I give this any credibility.

Bentley, now if only they could be British Racing Green and have a whopping great supercharger on them

Have to agree with ExtremeNinja, VW have been "flying a kite" on this one for years.

Would be nice to see the Bentley name though.

I doubt they'd use Audi seeing as it's focus is on Le Mans, but unless I'm mistaken they could also use the Bugatti brand?

Surely Porsche as their is a historical tie to F1.
Skoda is rallying.
Audi and Bentley are LeMans
VW are Tescos...

Still don't think it will happen...

What about Lamborghini F1? They may have sucked in the past, but it will be good to have that name in F1.

However, I wouldn't take Volkswagon seriously, 2018? Such a strange year isn't it?

Even then, F1 bent over backwards to get them and yet they backed out. Can't see that happening again.
