The F1 world has been shaken up ever since Porsche outlined their interest to enter the sport. However, rather than entering as an independent constructor, the German manufacturer preferred to enter in partnership with an existing team; Red Bull.

After months of speculation, it has finally been revealed that Porsche will indeed be purchasing a 50% stake in Red Bull. Although there is no official press release or announcement, as of now the formal process of the partnership is underway.

The two entities need to disclose the details of their tie-up which have now been published in Morocco by the Conseil de la Concurrence. The document reveals that Porsche will be entering a 10-year agreement with the Milton Keynes outfit, having a 50% stake in their GP operations from 2026.
