F1 : Motorsport governing body is aware of VW Formula 1 foray plans for 2015 E-mail
Friday, 17 August 2012 09:16
The German weekly Sport Bild is reporting that Volkswagen, the car maker giant, is making plans to enter Formula One in 2015.

Sauber team boss Peter Sauber confirmed recently that he met at the Geneva motor show with VW's chairman Martin Winterkorn.

The Swiss team's Chief Executive Monisha Kaltenborn denied there is any more to the story.

But Sport Bild said Volkswagen is planning to enter Formula 1 with Sauber, the Hinwil based team who won a Grand Prix with BMW during the 2006-2009 collaboration.

The report said the FIA has been informed of the VW-Sauber plans, with Wolfsburg based VW reportedly keen to strengthen its presence in the key premier car markets in China, the US, Russia and Brazil.

Sport Bild also said Sauber might be just a "stepping stone" into Formula 1 for VW, with the marque also keen to get involved in Formula 1 chassis design at its state of the art Porsche Motorsport Centre in Weissach, Germany.
