According to the report, for the 2026 F1 season, Ferrari, Mercedes, and Renault are already expected to be a part of the rostrum for the new regulations and the work has already begun. Audi has kickstarted the new facility with around 100 employees. The same, however, cannot be said about Porsche. The brand took a massive hit with the Red Bull fiasco and interest in F1 has waned to a large extent. The report said,
