McLaren's Zak Brown sees no reason why Formula 1 cannot expand the grid if new teams meet the required criteria and pay a “fair franchise fee” F1
The FIA announced earlier this month that it was appealing for expressions of interest from potential new F1 teams, with a view to expanding the grid to 11 or 12 teams as early as 2025.
Although any new team would have to pay a $200 million dilution fee that would be split between the existing squads to make up for the drop in prize money, there are concerns this figure has been set too low under the Concorde Agreement. "Our general view is that so long as a team is additive to the sport, whether it's an 11th team and/or a 12th team, and can help make the pie bigger, drive greater awareness and we all get more sponsors, we get more media deals, and they pay what's a fair franchise fee, which all sports have, then I see no reason for them not to join," Brown told Motorsport.com.
