It's my understanding that Porsche's offer remains "provisional", dependent upon the finalized 2026 rules package. Any additional insight on that?

Really hoped it would be more detail
Agree, think the major hold up from announcing it, is the 2026 rules are not finalised. Both Mercedes and Ferrari are objecting as they are keen to keep their competitive advantage
I'm convinced Porsche will join F1 from 2026 and maybe Audi too as it's reported Audi are in the process of trying to buy 75% of Sauber

Makes perfect sense, economy of scale with RBF1, Alpha Tauri, Audi and maybe one other team running the same PU/ESS
Worked in F1 for too long and should be too old to get excited but I genuinely am very excited about the future of F1
Think F1 is entering a new golden age of extremely close racing/championship battles between many teams, many car companies from many countries and more drivers than has been seen for the last 20yrs
