With Audi already in F1, with its own team, ford as biker and Porsche studying optionsBMW has already ruled on whether or not it will be in that ‘new’ Formula 1 that will begin in 2026. The German team, one of the most mythical in the 2000s and which was closely linked to Williams and Sauber, has confirmed its intentions for the World Cup.
Facing a championship in which they have achieved victories with, for example, robert kubica and that they had pilots like Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher. Since they left at the end of 2010 they have not shown any signs of life or shown their intention to return… and that is something that has not changed and will not change.
Because Andreas Roos, president of BMW Motorsport, has said ‘no’ to entering Formula 1: “There is nothing right now that make us take that seriously.”
“F1 will be hybrid in 2026. Now it is too, but your system is irrelevant. Now they are going to switch to something that we see in cars… but it will be in three years,” she insists.
In words to ‘Speedcafe.com’, he explains what his plans are: “For us that has already been done for three years. We are in the IMSA and in the WEC with a system that is more relevant to the road.
“In F1 the change comes too late. It’s the same story with sustainable fuel”, he says.
Thus, it seems clear that BMW does not have the slightest intention of entering F1. For now, Ford and Audi will be the big news for 2026, at the expense of what happens with Cadillac and Porsche. And with Honda.
