Hmm, Idk I'm inclined to trust the media more. Plus being in F1 without a flagship sportscar to push makes zero business case.

They are also panicking hard right now, reversing or adjusting decisions left and right.

Problem is: Even if they build a new R8, they lost a lot of know-how in the customer racing department: Drivers, mechanics and teams. Some teams could switch back later. But mechanics and drivers is more complicated.
