Porsche is pursuing its efforts to enter Formula 1 according to the FIA, with the German manufacturer still talking with teams after its prospective partnership with Red Bull was scrapped last month.

On Wednesday, the FIA released a report detailing the latest decisions signed off by its World Motor Sport Council after its meeting in London.

The report included a comment from FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem's opening address in which the latter listed the positive developments enjoyed by Formula 1 over the summer.

"At Spa-Francorchamps in August, Audi announced it was joining the FIA Formula One World Championship from 2026 as a power unit manufacturer," said Ben Sulayem.

"This announcement was an endorsement of the hard work by all stakeholders to develop those Regulations. We also note that Porsche are still in discussions with Formula 1 teams."

Despite its botched deal with Red Bull, Porsche said at the time that Formula 1 remained "an attractive prospect" for the company.

It's unknown which teams Porsche may be talking to or whether the Stuttgart firm still plans to invest in one of the sport's ten outfits or whether it would enter F1 as a mere engine supplier.

Last month, Porsche successfully completed its IPO. The company now trades on the Frankfurt stock exchange separately from Volkswagen.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
