German car manufacturer Volkswagen could enter Formula 1 racing in 2018.
Auto Motor und Sport on Thursday quotes VW Group motor racing official Wolfgang Durheimer saying: "When the group is at the front of the auto industry in 2018, I could imagine an involvement in formula one.
"We have enough good brands that could do that," he added.
Durheimer warned however that Volkswagen is happy with its current activities, including VW and Skoda in rallying, Seat in world touring cars and Audi in DTM and Le Mans.
Volkswagen's line-up of brands includes Audi, Lamborghini, Porsche, Skoda, Bugatti and SEAT.
Volkswagen probably changed its mind about F1 when the FIA unveiled the new 1.6-litre, V6 turbo engine with energy recovery systems that will be introduced from the start of 2014.
