Formula One could expand to 12 teams now that General Motors¡¯ brand Cadillac has been accepted as the 11th from 2026, according to FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

Formula One has always had a provision for 12 in the rules but there was strong opposition from commercial rights holder Liberty Media and existing teams to going beyond 10 before a deal was reached.

¡°Why not?¡± Ben Sulayem said at Sunday¡¯s Qatar Grand Prix when asked if he would like to see the final slot filled.
