They are two of motorsport’s true giants. Porsche must be regarded as the greatest sportscar manufacturer, particularly when it comes to the Le Mans 24 Hours. And Audi revolutionised rallying before scoring success in touring cars, endurance competition and Formula E.
But neither has a particularly storied history in Formula 1. Aside from the TAG-badged Porsche engine that powered McLaren to five titles in the 1980s, it’s been slim pickings at the pinnacle of the sport, and they have often looked elsewhere. Given the current boom F1 is enjoying, that now seems set to change.
