If VW are still planning to go through with this the scandal could have a big impact on which marque they enter with. It's VW who are being dragged through the mud here, it might persuade them to enter under VW rather than Audi.
It all depends on what they get hammered with. If they can talk their way out of the majority of this scandal they are made for F1 and its interpretive rules mantra.
Does anyone think it could be more than a coincidence that this all came out just months after Piech was ousted?
Could be, but if Piech blew the whistle he is on dangerous ground as he would have been in charge at the time it all happened, unless he has a Chuck Blazer style immunity for spilling the beans...........
He is a member of the Porsche family i think . the new chairman is currently in charge of Porsche , IMHO VAG won't buy into redbull now .
It looks like the deal is dead in the water: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3261550/New-VW-chief-brief-workers-fallout-scandal.html
