Weeks after the total failure of the agreement between Red Bull and Porsche, the main question now concerns the future – if there will be one – of the German manufacturer in Formula 1. Specifically, what is most intriguing is the possibility of being able to witness a positive closure of the negotiations between the Stuttgart brand and another team. currently present in the top flight, although there is no news of similar scenarios. However, still with regard to this possible ‘marriage’, the team that seems the most suitable for a union with Porsche would seem to be the McLarenand for several reasons.
Above all, the will of the CEO Zak Brown to be able to create a partnership with a great builder, especially after the misstep with Honda and subsequent approaches with Renault and Mercedes. The latter, however, do not allow the Woking house to enjoy first-team status, as they already own official teams. Consequently, a possible union with Porsche would allow McLaren to be able to relaunch itself among the absolute top teams. The agreement with the German company could also be favored by the figure of the team principal Andreas Seidl.
In fact, before holding this role at McLaren from 2019, the German engineer had held the same position at Porsche in the WECcontributing to the victory of the drivers and constructors world title from 2015 to 2017, a period of triumphs also in 24 Hours of Le Mans. However, Seidl himself did not want to comment on the possible entry of Porsche, while not hiding his happiness if the Stuttgart house manages to enter the top flight, as Audi will most likely do by taking over the majority shares of Sauber: “To be honest, being now in command of McLaren, I don’t want to comment or talk about my past in Porsche – he has declared – It was a great moment for all the fans to see this great battle between Audi and Porsche, especially at Le Mans. It was great to be part of this racing era too. If Porsche also decided to enter F1, which it would be another good news for the CircusI believe that this internal battle would again be something that would affect everyone ”.
