Christian Horner has likened existing teams voting for new teams to join F1 to 'turkeys voting for Christmas'. Formula1
Team bosses on accepting 11th F1 team: ‘Like turkeys voting for Christmas’As potential F1 teams await word on their applications to join the grid, Christian Horner says accepting a new team and diluting the prize pot is “like turkeys voting for Christmas”.
But while the exiting 10 teams don’t have a say in the process, both Mercedes and Red Bull – along with others – are concerned that including an 11th team would dilute not only the product but also the prize pot. Laying out his criteria, he continued: “If it can help us to increase our audiences or if there is lots of marketing dollars that are being invested, similar to what we have done over the years. Red Bull and Mercedes, sitting here, I mean, hundreds of millions.
Today’s regulations state that every team involved in the sport will receive a share of the prize pot whereas in yesteryear it was only the top 10.
