Christian Horner is exploring options to return to the Formula 1 paddock after his exit from Red Bull.
He has held preliminary talks about setting up his own F1 team, which could potentially become the 12th team on the grid.
Notably, F1 has not had 12 teams since the 2012 season, and the grid will only return to 11 teams in 2026 with the arrival of Cadillac.
After being removed from his roles as Red Bull's F1 CEO and team principal, Horner approached Haas about a possible role, but they will no longer meet with him.
Christian Horner might even make it by putting a 12th team on the grid.
Two drivers could realistically be signed if Horner sets up his own team, although their specific identities are not mentioned.
Horner's potential comeback to the F1 paddock remains uncertain, despite his efforts to find a new role.
