Audi =F1?
The first time I say these pics, my heart skipped a beat! For a second I thought audi was going to join formula one. Take a look. Great graphic design work.<ul><li><a href="http://www.speedarena.com/news/publish/features/article_7412.shtml">http://www.speedarena.com/news/publish/features/article_7412.shtml</a</li></ul>

Never ! Only when F1 starts to use Diesel engines, anything else wouldn't make sense for Audi to
create another playground for their success. I could imagine Audi as a (Diesel) engine manufacturer for any team that has the desire and the $$$ to play in F1.
BTW, I highly doubt that Audi would compensate any of their drivers with a ridiculous amount of $20M or so per season; they rather invest in technology.
Just ask the Audi ALMS drivers :-)

I just about creamed my skivvies when those were posted month's ago. But, in reality,
I don't see Audi making that kind of investment. Now, IF they sought to become the first F1 team to win in a diesel, THAT would be worthy. Look at all that BMW has had to go through to get to where they are now, and they still haven't won a race. Great dream, but I don't see it happening.

That's the point, Audi can't afford to start always from second base and finish evtl third
The good thing is that F1 is somewhat competitive, the bad thing is if you are a company like Toyota or BMW and need 10 years to get to the podium. I believe Audi took on BMW's lesson and rather keeps fishing in their own pool.....smart move ;-)
