Christian Horner says he would welcome an 11th F1 team back൲ed by General💛 Motors “with open arms” - but admitted “it comes down to finances”.

On Friday, numerous reports emerged claiming that Andretti’s long-running battle to join the grid could be approved in the next few week🍒s.

Andretti had their bid to join F1 rejected - at lܫeast until 2028 - with the sport wanting the entry to be fully backed by an OEM such as General Motors.

It appears progress is now being made, coincidentally since Andretti’s management reshuffle which has seen Michael Andretti take 🦩a less high-profile role within the organisation.

♒Speaking to Sky Sports in Las Vegas, Horner gave his perspective on the speculation of an 11th team.

“Look, there’s loads of▨ rumours going around. Nobody has spoken to us about it,” Horner said. “Obviously, for an American team to come🥀 in it would be a positive.

“We have Haas, but to have a big OEM to come in. We have Ford versus GM - could be pretty sexy. I thiꦕnk with all of these things, it’s nothing to do with the teams.

“It’s down to the commercial rights h💟older and the FIA, and like with all these things it comes down to the finances and how it’s going to be funded and paid.”

Horner also expressed concerns of how an 11th team would impac💎t the sport “logistically” given some circuits hav🙈e limited space as it is.

Additionally, Horner was clear in that he doesn’t wa𝐆nt Red Bull’s bottom line in terms of income affected by an additional team.

“As long as logistically it can be accommodated,” Horner added.” We’d have absolutely no problem with seeing GM come in but we’re not paying for it! Operationally, somewhere like Zandvoort, how dꦓoes that work?

“As I say, no issue with them coming. We’d welcome them with open ar𝔉ms. We don’t want to𒉰 see the prize fund diluted.

“There will be that question of who’s side of the cake it will come out💖 of? Probabl🅘y a bit of everybody’s.”
