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.
F1 has not had 12 teams since the 2012 season, and the grid will expand to 11 teams in 2026 with the arrival of Cadillac.
Horner, 51, was removed from his roles as Red Bull's F1 CEO and team principal in July and finalized his departure in September.
Despite his efforts, Horner may still face challenges in securing a place in the paddock, as Haas has declined to meet with him about a potential role.
Horner recently approached Haas about a possible role, but was rebuffed.
