Another Team Joins Formula 1: Expansion Confirmed
A revolution is brewing in the world of Formula 1. In the 2026 season, the championship will expand to include one more team. According to Racingnews365, an agreement to expand the grid has already been reached.
Details: Sources reveal that an official announcement from Formula 1 management is expected before the Qatar Grand Prix on December 1. The statement will confirm the expansion and disclose the name of the new team.
Reminder: The most likely candidate for the 11th spot is the American Andretti team, which had previously submitted a bid to join the championship. While the FIA approved Andretti’s application in October of last year, Formula 1 management rejected it. Reports now suggest that this time there will be no obstacles, and the championship will feature 11 teams starting in the 2026 season.
