German sports car manufacturer, Porsche, has revealed it's considering a return to Formula One and racing under its own name.

Porsche competed in Grand Prix races with Formula One cars from 1958 to 1964.

The company also provided the engines for McLaren-TAG in the 1980s when the British team won three world drivers championships.

However, it has played no role in Formula One since 1991.
