    VW/Audi/Seat/Lamborghini/Skoda is an obvious one these days.

    Alfa probably don't have the resources anymore, and have shown no interest recently.

    McLaren may be making engines soon, will Lotus join in partnership? (doubt it)

    Damn right, those porsche TAG turbo engines were monstrous. If they come back, they need to be branded TAG again, for nostalgic reasons.

    Indeedy, If VW did enter then I hope they use the Skoda name, just to be ironic :)

    I think all teams should create their own engines. If they cant afford it tough luck, go home.

    It will be a while before we see Toyota back in F1 i think, the spending they done was outrageously reckless to get next to none success, no team could sustain that rate of going.

    How about as an engine supplier. There isn't that much of a cost involved, plus they make money back from people using the engines.

    soon as I read the title I thought Porsche too, and then Honda.

    With the return of turbo engines, it would be great to have all the classic names back. McLaren Honda anyone?

    could you imagine those TAG-Hondas in a redbull? Vettel would probably go so fast he'd lap himself (if he could overtake)

    If they sign up Kamui if webber retires, the FIA would enforce a rule banning all drivers with the initials KK from using TAG Turbo engines, just to make it fair on everyone else.

    I assume Kamui is your favourite driver too. For me it's weird, all these years i've been neutral, and some little japanese bloke ruins it. Damn you Kamui, why do you have to be so good.
