    If they come back it would be thanks to some help from Toyota i thought? They could provide a base engine for wrc or something

    I mean... I wouldnt mind having a Subaru shaped/stickered car racing with a Toyota engine.
    Tbh I'd love to see stuff like in MotoGP, where, idk, PetterSolber or ProDrive could just run this year's cars next season, like they do with the old Ducattis. And even the F1 people dont seem to care that ASTON MARTIN and ALFA ROMEO are not actuaaaaally ASTON MARTIN and ALFA ROMEO, u'know? Just a couple of '''french''' built cars using mercedes or ferrari engines or whatever ....

    Aston Martin is Aston Martin, with Alfa you are right. It's just a sponsor for Sauber.

    Aston Martin is Merc's engines and brand name/sponsor for the team. Wtf.
    AM is also just a sponsor/badge for the team.
    What about Tag Heuer Red Bull.. actually were Renault engines, just branded differently

    Everybody knows that Aston Martin uses Mercedes engines, that's why they are called Aramco Aston Martin Mercedes. Everybody knows that there are only 3 full factory teams (+ Red Bull kinda). They will Honda's factory team in 2026, which again, doesn't change the fact that it's Aston Martin as it's owned by same person who owns Lagonda (if he won't sell the team ofc). You are mixing absolutely different things together.

    Not me, I dont know anything about F1, I haven't watched any events in last 20 years.. so, please stick with Subaru. I have heard that there is some turth behind this rumor, but there is no official story about it. Normally it should not happen before 2027.

    I think it is something going on in Torsby, Petter is building new workshop.
    Hopefully it is something subaru, maybe as a Rally2 in worst case?

    It doesn't change the heart of the car to that..
