FIA Open To Adding 12th F1 Team As Target Nation Revealed

Formula 1 may end up expanding the grid to 12 teams as the sport grows both commercially and competitively.
Cadillac is entering the sport in 2026, marking the return of a all-American racing team.
The following team might be a Chinese racing outfit - expanding the foothold within one of F1's most untapped markets.
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem addressed the potential arrival of another team to the grid in a recent media session.

"The drivers are coming to me and saying, 'Please, no more races.'
"When we opened the Expression of Interest [in 2023], what was the outcome based on? Due process, competency framework, and without looking at which company it was, as long as it fulfilled the requirements of the FIA.
"We have an 11th team. I believe we should look into the performance of the 11th team, and then, if there is a Chinese [bid], and I will speak on behalf of FOM now in front of you, they will agree to that, because it is about sustaining the business."
Cadillac F1 is entering the sport as the 11th team on the grid, marking the first time that the grid has expanded in years.
The expansion offers two additional race seats for drivers to compete and an extra competitor to break through in the racing series.
Several factors make joining the grid easier than ever, particularly since the introduction of the cost cap.
The bigger, more famous teams are no longer allowed to spend large amounts of money. All of the teams are on a level playing field.
Ben Sulayem stated that another team won't be added for the sake of it, but instead, the racing series is open to hearing out a proposal.
"If there is a team from China, let's say, and FOM approved it, and I am 100 per cent they will approve it, wouldn't it make more money with China coming in? I believe, yes," he said.
"Do we have to fill up [the grid] with a 12th team for the sake of filling up [the grid] with a 12th team? No. It will be the right team.
"The time will come when we feel it right to open an Expression of Interest. We are not here to upset the other teams, but it won't be just for the sake of doing it. It has to be worth it.
"For us, the [12th] team has to add value to sustaining the business of Formula 1, and the business of Formula 1 is not about the income, it's about the longevity of the championship itself."

ROSEN, TOP RANKED GLOBAL COUNSEL, Encourages Capricor Therapeutics, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action
NEW YORK, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Capricor Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAPR) between October 9, 2024 and July 10, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important September 15, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased Capricor securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Capricor class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 15, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants provided investors with material information concerning deramiocel, Capricor's lead cell therapy candidate drug for the treatment of cardiomyopathy associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Defendants' statements included, among other things, Capricor's ability to obtain a Biologics License Application (BLA) for deramiocel from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Further, defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning its four-year safety and efficacy data from its Phase 2 HOPE-2 trial study of deramiocel. The lawsuit alleges this caused shareholders to purchase Capricor's securities at artificially inflated prices. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Capricor class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ——————————- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq.
