BYD are understood to be in conversations with F1 about a potential future return
Since 2023, I have been a sports journalist covering motorsport.
Christian Horner, formerly of Red Bull, may assist a Chinese car giant in potentially becoming the 12th F1 team.
Despite leaving Red Bull in 2025 after 20 successful years, Horner is interested in returning as a team owner, with talks linking him to roles at teams like Alpine and Haas.
Given his history of success with new teams, Horner’s expertise could aid BYD’s F1 bid, amid FIA’s desire to involve a Chinese brand in the sport for growth purposes.
BYD, a major automaker, is looking to navigate the complexities of entering F1, and discussions have taken place with both F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and Horner regarding potential involvement.
