Rumours about Volkswagen/Audi's potential involvement in F1 are still swirling.
Having recently hired former F1 men Stefano Domenicali and Jörg Zander, Audi is now reportedly considering buying Toro Rosso to race under Lamborghini's name.
According to Italy's Omnicorse, Red Bull would be open to the idea of selling its junior team to a serious company like Audi.
The two brands do have a history together, the energy drink company being a sponsor of both Audi and Volkswagen in the DTM and WRC championships.
Lamborghini also has a history in F1 before. It supplied engines to several teams between 1988 and 1993, including its own Modena Team in 1991. At the time, the company was owned by Chrysler.
It belongs to the Volkswagen group since 1998.
