Leaked documents appear to show Porsche buying a 50% interest in Red Bull Racing.

Jericoke:
I wonder if Audi will take 50% of Alpha Tauri so that they're both in the sport 'competing' on the same side.

lkjohnson1950:
So far, the rumor is Audi will buy Alfa Romeo/Sauber.

Jericoke:
A little further research (okay, watching YouTube), Porsche is buying into Red Bull Advanced Technologies, not the team itself.  RBAT is a subsidiary of the team, that supplies both Red Bull Racing, and Alpha Tauri.  It looks like, legally, Red Bull Powertrains is separate from RBR/RBAT, though I suspect that at the end of the day Porsche will be involved with RBPT and RBAT, continuing to supply RBR and STR.  It is a closer relationship than Honda had with RBR, but still not a complete tie up, like say BMW Sauber was.  Maybe more in line with McLaren-Mercedes?  (I'm not sure how that relationship worked)
