In May of this year Volkswagen Motorsport director Jost Capito stated Volkswagen would not be entering Formula 1 in 2014 and would opt to focus on WRC Rally Racing instead. Well, it seems that will hold true but they may be entering in 2015. Volkswagen is apparently in talks with the Sauber Formula 1 team to start a partnership. Volkswagen apparently intends to create their own chassis.

Why is VW contemplating the move? Well, they wish to boost their image with Formula 1 competition certainly will do. Where things get complicated is that the F1 chassis would allegedly be designed by Porsche at their Motorsport facility in Weissach, Germany. So would this be a VW entry, VW Group entry, or Porsche endeavor? Things get complicated when one takes into account that Porsche decided to focus on LeMans recently and Formula 1 development would be a whole new ball game which is big, big money. If anyone has the money though, it is the VW Group.

We will be sure to let our readers know exactly what happens with this story. F1 is potentially about to get much more interesting.
