Cannot see the current teams allowing another team to join the grid
Yet they let one in once the money was right. The contract they signed caters for 12 teams.I'm sure they'd rather the 12th and final team they have to worry about is one that delights their sponsors/brands by opening up new territory rather another European or American team where they're already well covered one way or another and the viewers are already engaged.

And if we get a Chinese team how long until we get a second and third GP in China? Just dump a couple of these inconvenient European races and chase the giant Chinese market.
Yes, it sucks that UK and European relevance in the commercial world is waning. But it is, and F1 is duty bound to go to the places that make the most commercial sense.all the noise im hearing about this make alot of sense.
A chinese company will for sure at looking to increase market share outside of china, and F1 would be a good way.
Horner has built a team before, and with the offer of a stake, im sure he would be interested.
People who know him well that i know have long said that he always felt hard done by not having a stake in red bull.
Non of it sounds out of the question.

Indeed. It sounds like Horners best chance for a new project and aside from if/how he fits in, there is no real doubt that the next team will be Chinese. It makes complete commercial sense for everyone, the stars are aligned.A chinese company will for sure at looking to increase market share outside of china, and F1 would be a good way.

If ever a sentence sums up what's wrong with a sport it's this. Teams shouldn't have a say who gets to come and race against them, same way tbey shouldn't have a say in what the rules areSmitters said:

...There is a massive conflict of interest here, but you can't ban Susie from doing her job just because of who she is married to...
Ironic that she's only had the jobs she has had cause she married her husband. 
No place being a F1 test driver for the team her Husband part owned (she has a poor racing record*)
No place being in charge running F1 Academy. (for the exact same reasons)
Susie Stoddart wasn't about to get those roles!
* No wins, no poles, no fastest laps in any race car. (FR UKF3 or DTM) She's the absolute definition of promoted beyond her abilities due to friends in high places. And lets not forget the 2017 MBE for "services to Women in Sport."

... but they actually went on to achieve things, without their spouse clearly influencing a lot of it.

Where was Susie Stoddart when she came into contact with her now husband?
What misogynistic nonsense can you come up with as to how she got there?
She maximised her assets. A man with her record and ability wouldn't have gone anywhere at the professional level. She's not completely crap, but miles off what's required even in sports cars.What misogynistic nonsense can you come up with as to how she got there?
Jamie is better, and she's bang average for sports cars.
Horner was similar, not good enough for professional racing, he was smart enough to realise that and change course.

Er… I think that there are a fair that do. Me included; the toxicity from him and Marko was extremely wearying and the absence of it is refreshing, long may it continue.t racing driver (all relatively speaking). Why does being female bring out the attack monkeys on their keyboards?
