Audi buys McLaren

Post by Jobbo »

Suppose it's logical with Merc having taken a stake in Aston. News here:

@SSO, any insights?

It explains all the restructuring that went on last year. It must have been a condition of the sale.

It's been updated (and from my memory, substantially rewritten) since to include the denial.

Yes, it makes it a total non-article now doesn't it ? 8-) You could substitute absolutely anything instead of "Audi" and it would make no difference :lol:

Audi buying the McLaren team and rebranding it Audi would have been extremely moronic considering the heritage McLaren have in F1.
How about not having a sig at all?

Indeed - it's not as if you have the Audi Huracan Performante competing with Ferrari, or the Audi 996SPS challenging the Honda Fireblade (NB: motorbike references may be some years out of date).

I am amused at all the rumour-mongers suggesting it's actually BMW, not Audi, that have bought McLaren.
