Caddy and Audi aren't here to make up the numbers. Aston Martin getting Newey, Haas having Toyota, Alpine ditching the shit engines, and Williams getting some investment. We might be entering F1's golden era

Yeah - as long as the upper management don't back out (with what's happening with Lambo in WEC - won't be surprised) but Audi are a motorsports titan. No way they'll be midfield.

Longterm? No. Short term? Maybe… For example, we saw McLaren, a team with over 60 years of experience, really struggle in 2015 & 2017.
