^^^^ just read that about Audi.
The interesting thing in there is the suggestion that it's likely to an Audi with Red Bull sponsorship. That'll mean big changes at Red Bull - but then the winning streak there has finished, Newey is onto other things, so maybe the Mateschitz millions will be spent as a "mere" sponsor.
I doubt that F1 by 2016 will look at all like it does now.

If Audi does, how can BMW not, I wonder
Because, unlike Audi, BMW have "been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, bought the team, sold the team, sold the t-shirts". Mermaid said:

Exactly this. Imagine if Audi could boast both Le Mans and F1 titles? Munich would go into meltdown...
It makes no difference to me, there's no real link between any of the teams and road cars. For instance, maclaren's performance should put me right off their road cars, but i'm keen.Audi could spend a billion and get loads of titles. The result would be some edition of diesel a4 with f1 logos on the leather...

Apropos of nothing, I think Maclaren's performance has been rather better than McLaren's in recent years, so should shirley have provided a modest halo effect .
I see that the Lotus sponsor Burn is playing silly buggers by superimposing Fred's head on a set of Black & Gold race overalls saying he would look good in them next year!!
Interesting.
Frankly i don't care so as long Jensn doesn't loose his drive to Fred.
Also it has been reported that Ferrari are facing having to pay Fred £50 million for the remainder of his contract.
