This article on the German website Sport1.de seems to think there are those at Volkswagen who plan to be in F1, maybe by 2014. Initially as an engine supplier but then to buy out an existing team.

Here's the article through a bot translator.

In best Col. Klink voice - velly interesting

Can't see it after they didn't get the engine format that they were wanting.

This VW in F1 thing keeps popping up every year or so, I'm surprised it's still quietly rumbling on.

So what are they thinking of doing? Buying out a midfield team under the pretence of future glory, only to depart 3 years down the line, when they realise the commitment needed for success is simply too great? Brilliant.

Meh. VW are THE most boring car company on the planet.

Nah, that's Merc's plan!

You think Audi, Bugatti, Lamborghini are boring?

I definitely wouldn't rule out Merc's exit after a couple more years if the results don't come.

Ah they're not true VW ya know? Not really an Audi or Bugatti fan either come to think of it. Lambo are a different kettle of fish

I know they're not, but you were labeling the car company (not the vehicles or even the brand) as boring, so just wanted to point out this... A company who can produce lambos is by default not boring, wouldn't you say?
I find Toyota way more boring.

[scotty]

Pedant! But if that's your game then i shall have to specify the brand i guess. Toyota... meh, boring road cars but too many epic racing cars... they even made the Prius cool in race trim.

Who knew you could make such a profit from boring?

Perhaps something other than Arizona would help. But you could be in Oklahoma, or Kansas, or Alabama.
