Ex-F1 team could return as 12TH competitor on the grid
A former F1 team, Caterham, could be making a comeback to the grid after over a decade since its last appearance in the sport. Despite their struggles and not scoring any championship points from 2012-2014, a 24-year-old Kuwaiti entrepreneur, Saad Kassis-Mohamed, and his investment firm, SKM Capital, are backing the team for a return in 2027 under the name SKM Racing. The team has already set up a technical center in Silverstone and a racing department in Munich to prepare for their comeback. Cadillac is expected to be the 11th team in F1 next season, with Caterham potentially becoming the 12th team if approved by the FIA and Formula One Management. The team has yet to confirm its engine supplier, with Ferrari and Honda being the possible candidates, and they need to meet registration deadlines to be ready for the 2027 season.
