Not sure hiring domenicali is proof of anything, certainly not proof of life for "competitive F1 aspirations"

Blame Rota.

Falc0n is fading, but you and ROTOR are machines. I can't hang.

Good one Bauley. You got the Dad jokes down pat already.

Funny how JS says they "wised up" as if they didn't know what they were doing to begin with. He's a smug/proud SOB isn't he?

Administrators wise up | joeblogsf1
Sounds like they're gonna miss the next 2, catch the last one (derka derka) just to keep the license going for next year?

I can drop a triple post when the chips are down.

As Fall comes, the workflow slows a bit, so watch out!

Personally, I would be tickled if Audi joined F1.

If Audi/VAG comes on board, BMW will not be left out for long. They'll throw their purse in the pillow fight, no doubt.

They should re-buy Sauber before it folds.

you remember the little advertisement beef Audi and BMW had with their billboards? anyone remember what that was over? yea I'd say they take their winning seriously.

Is it on par with F1 for exposure? Probably not. But I bet they get a good ROI for the exporsure. #businessminor @supdoe
Audi would trade those LeMans wins for F1 wcc and wdc any day considering they'd be beating the likes of Ferrari McLaren AMG and RB

I have been trying to get to 3 for years. I'm at 5 right now (not including the parts car at my parent's house).

Got 2 people coming to look at the Civic on Sunday. Hopefully one of them buys it because I'm sick of looking at it.

Lambo would be nice. Apparently their F1 engines weren't that great. Lots of top end but no reliability.

Lamborghinis don't race.

I look forward to the Audi TDI F1 car.

More on the Audi rumours..........


It’s understood that Audi was close to entering F1 in 2013, and was the driving force behind the sport’s aborted plan to use four-cylinder turbocharged engines. At Audi’s urging, the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council proposed, in late in 2010, to turn F1 into a four-cylinder turbo formula. Audi backflipped on joining the sport, though, and the F1 Commission changed the engine formula to turbocharged V6. Insiders insist Audi and the Volkswagen Group have now been working on a 1.6-litre V6 turbo Formula One engine since early this year.
