Here are 3 main reasons that I don’t want to see Porsche leave LMP1 and go to F1

  1. Porsche’s home is in sportscar racing: It gained fame & fortune in this discipline. Porsche is to sportscar racing what Ferrari is to F1. (listen to Andre Lotterer)
  2. Porsche has invested heavily in building up what can be considered the best all round team in the business. On and off track. It would be a crying shame to lose this all to make a couple of bucks selling engines that may or may not be successful.
  3. From a purely technological point of view, the LMP1 cars are more advanced than the F1 cars. In other words; Endurance racing is a far better lab for technology than F1 (Less regulated and far more stressful)
