So weird that Audi announced they are entering F1 as an engine manufacturer yet not accompanying that with a team that will be using their powertrain. Upstaging their big brother Porsche.

So it would seems someone in Audi still wanted to continue the tradition from long dead Piech, using Audi to upstage Porsche, as THE brand for VAG.

And we thought VAG had purged all Piech clan traitors a long time ago. mail

The optics really isn't good for VAG as a whole. I can't even imagine the fight inside the boardroom for the next VAG board meeting. 

I sure hope in the near future, Oliver Blume will realign the VAG brands and label Audi under Porsche to put them inline.

This is F1 announcement is almost like half a mutiny in VAG.
