No chance of any VW coming to F1. Or any other internal combustion engine based series.
""Volkswagen has confirmed that it is focusing its motorsport strategy on electric mobility. A clear emphasis on fully electric racing cars will be backed up by the farewell to factory-backed commitments using internal combustion engines.""

If a man can't look at danger and still go on, man has stopped living. If the worst ever happens – then it means simply that I've been asked to pay the bill for the happiness of my life – without a moment's regret. Graham Hill

You do have to wonder what sort of future there will be for *any* manufacturers or OEMs if a net zero world comes about.
I mean, they could offset emissions, but it's not a great look. OEMs would be less impacted (eg: here's a spec stock-block V8.. you can still go racing...)... but I can't see any top-level brand getting behind that either.
