Porsche drops its biggest F1 hint yet
Baku, September 6, AZERTAC
Porsche confirms F1 interest after Italian GP visit, according to motorsport.com.
With the dust barely settled on its WEC exit and Formula E announcement, Porsche has thrown its hat into the ring as a potential Formula 1 engine supplier under the proposed 2021 regulations.
Lutz Meschke, Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board and Member of the Board for Finances and IT, met with Ross Brawn and the sport's other bosses at the Italian Grand Prix.
"F1 could be one of the right places," Meschke told Motorsport.com. "As you know Formula E is very important for us now, and F1 is always a good topic to think about. And I think we are in quite good discussions regarding the new engine."
Asked if the current plans for a twin-turbo V6 with less technology could attract Porsche to F1 he said: "Absolutely. We have to cut costs in F1, and it's a good way to reach this target."
