    Williams was right for the picking, although I wonder about Porsche involvement in F1 just as they start an endurance program.

    3 German manufacturers in F1; I feel I am dreaming !

    about a week ago I saw a story on the twitters that Porsche was buying 50% of Wiliams and the deal was "almost done" but haven't heard anything else, and of course we were assured the Red Bull deal was "almost done" until it wasn't.

    Jost Capito has been a VW (Porsche) man for almost his entire career so it's very possible.

    Good if it happens no big deal if not. Porsche needs zero from F1 but why be left out. All the other cool VW family kids are on the Spielplatz

    Well, if they still want to get in, there aren't other options. McLaren and Red Bull said no, Audi was faster about Sauber, RedBull dismantled Alpha Tauri's technical office and Haas never had one. Not a lot to choose from.

    Dorilton never intended to be a long term owner, in my opinion.

    No more than Longbow Finance for Sauber.
