Various sources are reporting today that Porsche plans to get back to F1. Apparently, Porsche's new CEO, Matthias Mueller, stated to one of the journalists at the Paris auto show this year that Porsche might get back to Formula 1. However, Porsche's shock return to F1 will not happen in the next season.
Some of you might not know that Porsche actually competed in F1 back in the 1990's, but not with their own race car. In fact they supplied the engines for the Footwork which competed in the 1991 F1 season.
It's been rumored that Volkswagen is also planning to enter F1 as an engine supplier, so, Porsche's got all the ingredients to make a surprise entry.
We'll have more details on Porsche coming back to F1 as soon as they become available.
