Audi has clearly rejected speculation its name might soon appear above a formula one garage door.
It has been reported for some time that the German carmaker's parent Volkswagen could be interested in entering the sport as an engine supplier.
VW's motor racing boss Kris Nissen said a month ago: "Within the group, for sure, (the branding) could be Audi, it could be Porsche and might also be Volkswagen."
But Audi's sporting boss Wolfgang Ullrich is not interested, according to the German news agency SID.
"We believe formula one and Audi do not fit, so long as the technology has no relevance to the development of our production cars," he said.
