Amid Porsche’s revived interest in one day entering the Formula 1 circus, an entry from the Stuttgart-based brand can’t come
Porsche’s Director of Motorsport Sales, Michael Dreiser, stated that motorsport will always be at the core of their brand identity and that Formula 1 remains an interesting racing series for them. While Porsche has crossed paths with F1 before, their partnership with Footwork in 1991 was not successful. However, their engines powered McLaren to three consecutive world titles in the 1980s. In 2022, Porsche considered a partnership with Red Bull for the 2026 season, but the deal fell through. Porsche’s focus has shifted to other motorsport commitments and they currently participate in various championships, including Formula E and the FIA World Endurance Championship. The impact on the rest of their programs would be significant if they were to enter F1. Porsche has a strong presence in the wider motorsports community and they might have a different approach to F1 compared to Audi.
