According to fans, the video posted by Porsche had the face of Frank Williams within the edit, leading to plenty of questions being asked, especially after the German sports car manufacturer has been looking for a way into the sport for a while now.

Originally, it was looking as though Porsche would strike a deal with current leaders Red Bull, but after this broke down - apparently after Porsche wanted too much dominance in the partnership - the business has obviously looked for other entrances into the sport.
Williams, being one of the smallest teams on the grid and in need of a serious cash infusion, was the obvious answer. And with Williams and Porsche having a strong history already, we're excited to see how this rumour could pan out.
Porsche?
