Porsche says Formula One is becoming more appealing as a series it could enter in future.
F1 has introduced a new cost cap this season and is introducing new engine rules in 2026. The Volkswagen Group, which owns Porsche and Audi, has been contemplating entering F1 for a while but has been deterred by F1's current V6 hybrid turbo engines, which are expensive and complicated.
F1 is hoping the next set of rules can be appealing to both existing manufacturers and any prospective entries. One contentious issue is whether new manufacturers would be given advantages on entry to ensure they were not immediately uncompetitive, like Honda was on entry in 2015 one year behind Mercedes, Ferrari and Renault started their V6 projects.
