McLaren team boss hints at Audi and Sauber collaboration: 'Fit together'

Sauber in league with Audi?

In recent weeks there has been much talk about the possible entry of Porsche and Audi into Formula 1. Porsche seems to be entering a partnership with Red Bull Racing, while Audi is still somewhat searching. The German brand would have made a bid for McLaren's F1 team, but Audi would not meet the financial demands of the British team. As a result, the German brand is now linked to Sauber, which currently still goes through life as Alfa Romeo. 

Seidl was long involved in the Sauber and BMW project, which had a deal from 2006 to 2009. Audi is said to be interested in a similar deal. "Audi and Sauber would be a good fit for the future. The Swiss have a great infrastructure with the wind tunnel and they would be ready for such a task," he says in conversation with Blick. 

Big plans from Audi

Not only a combination of Sauber and Audi is among the possibilities. Aston Martin would also be interested in a partnership with Audi. At the moment it is far from certain where Audi will end up, but the German brand's plans in F1 do not seem to be getting any smaller.
