This week it was announced that Porsche and Audi will enter Formula 1 in 2026. The head of McLaren, Zach Brown, confirmed that Audi representatives were in talks with him about cooperation, but even if the parties agree on something, the team will not be sold to Audi and will not change its name.
“Our shareholders are committed to McLaren,” said Zak Brown in Miami. – We had negotiations with Audi, but the team is not for sale. We have plans for the future and we are showing good results on track. Shareholders have invested heavily to ensure the team has the resources it needs to return to a leadership position.
Commercially, everything is fine and we are not interested in selling a race team at all. As for the power plant, Andreas Seidl has to decide which engine to put in our cars, but talking about selling the team is pointless.
Our conditions for any cooperation are that we remain the owner of the racing team. If someone else wants, then there are no negotiations.”
