Christian Horner's Potential F1 Team
Christian Horner, former Red Bull F1 CEO and team principal, is exploring options to return to the Formula 1 paddock, potentially by setting up his own team.
Horner has held preliminary talks about establishing a new team, which could become the 12th team on the grid, a number not seen since the 2012 season.
The F1 grid will expand to 11 teams in 2026 with the arrival of Cadillac, but Horner's chances of joining the paddock are uncertain.
After being removed from his roles at Red Bull in July and finalizing his departure in September, Horner approached Haas about a possible role, but they declined to meet with him.
Horner is looking for a way back into the Formula 1 paddock.
Two potential drivers that Horner could sign if he sets up his own team are not specified, but the possibility of him returning to F1 is still being considered.
