SILVERSTONE, England : Formula One has 11 teams at Silverstone this weekend, one of them the creation of Brad Pitt and Hollywood moviemakers, but in reality the existing 10 remain resistant to expanding their numbers.

Mercedes team boss and co-owner Toto Wolff told reporters at the British Grand Prix that his position was clear: Anyone wanting to join the party should buy an existing team."Here in Silverstone we can accommodate the Hollywood people, but on other circuits we can't," he said. The FIA started a formal application process in February, seeking to identify one or more new teams interested in joining in 2025, 2026 or 2027.
