Porsche has reportedly given up on its earlier plan to enter Formula 1 in 2026. Recently, talks between the Volkswagen-owned German sports carmaker and Red Bull Racing over a works tie-up and 50 percent buy-in collapsed. When asked about the collapsed Red Bull-Porsche talks, F1 legend Gerhard Berger said: “It’s always better to take a step back before getting married because it’s usually a lot more complicated afterwards”. Berger says Red Bull was right to wonder if the deal may only have robbed F1’s currently-dominant team of its competitive edge. “You have to be able to react quickly and have the best people and Red Bull already has that.”. “They have proven that they can do what they do in a clever way,” said Berger.
