Christian Horner's Potential F1 Team
Christian Horner is exploring options to return to the Formula 1 paddock after his exit from Red Bull, potentially by establishing his own team.
Horner has held preliminary talks about setting up a new F1 team, which could become the 12th team on the grid.
F1 has not had 12 teams since the 2012 season, and the grid will expand to 11 teams in 2026 with the arrival of Cadillac.
Despite this, Horner may still face challenges in securing a place in the paddock, having been removed from his roles at Red Bull and rejected by Haas.
Horner was removed from his roles as F1 CEO and team principal in July, before finalising his departure in September.
Two potential drivers for Horner's hypothetical team are not specified, but his efforts to join Haas were unsuccessful.
