via f1oversteer.com BYD advisor confirms Christian Horner has already found his next Formula 1 project Christian Horner, the former Red Bull team principal, is currently involved in discussions with the Chinese car manufacturer BYD regarding their prospective entry into Formula 1. Despite expressing a desire to join Ferrari, Horner is actively working with BYD, which aims to establish a new team rather than purchasing an existing one. Alfredo Altavilla, a special advisor for BYD, confirmed Horner's role in the talks and indicated that they are exploring how to approach their entry into the sport.
BYD's anticipated entry into Formula 1 is not expected until at least 2030, coinciding with potential regulatory changes that may see a return to V8 engines. Horner's insistence on a part-ownership role has previously hindered his return to the paddock, but his involvement with BYD suggests he may take on an official position if the project advances. The current teams in F1 may be hesitant to accept a 12th team, as it could dilute the prize money, especially following Cadillac's recent entry. f1oversteer.com Sun 27 Sep · 12:00 UTC via PlanetF1
