McLaren Release Statement Denying Sale To Audi

Earlier today reports surfaced from Autocar which indicated that McLaren was on the verge of being sold to Audi and that the german car manufacturer was looking at getting involved with Formula One, however that has been shot down by McLaren in a statement this afternoon.

McLaren said:

McLaren Group is aware of a news media report stating it has been sold to Audi. This is wholly inaccurate and McLaren is seeking to have the story removed.

McLaren’s technology strategy has always involved ongoing discussions and collaboration with relevant partners and suppliers, including other carmakers, however, there has been no change in the ownership structure of the McLaren Group.
