Two drivers Christian Horner could realistically sign if he sets up own F1 team

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 setting up his own team.

Horner has held preliminary talks about establishing a 12th team on the grid, which would be a significant development in the F1 landscape.

Background

F1 has not had a 12-team grid since the 2012 season, and the grid will expand to 11 teams in 2026 with the arrival of Cadillac.

Horner's Options

Despite the potential for a new team, Horner's options for a return to F1 may be limited, with Haas recently declining to meet with him about a possible role.

Horner was removed from his roles as Red Bull's F1 CEO and team principal in July, before finalising his departure in September.
