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

Christian Horner's Potential F1 Team

Christian Horner is exploring the possibility of setting up his own F1 team after leaving Red Bull.

Horner has held preliminary talks about establishing a new team, which could potentially become the 12th team on the grid.

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

Despite this, Horner may still find it challenging to secure a place in the paddock, having been removed from his roles at Red Bull and being rebuffed 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 that Horner could sign if he sets up his own team are not specified, but he will need to find a way to make his team competitive in the paddock.
