China's BYD, the world's largest electric vehicle seller, is considering an entry into Formula 1 as its first major push into elite auto racing. The automaker is evaluating options such as acquiring an existing team or building one from scratch, amid the sport's shift toward hybrid engines. No final decision has been made, with costs potentially reaching $500 million per season posing a significant barrier.
Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD is in early discussions about joining Formula 1, possibly as a 12th team. Executive Stella Li plans to meet series officials at the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix.

Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD has surpassed Tesla to become the world's leading EV seller, with hundreds of thousands more vehicles sold last year. The shift highlights BYD's advantages in pricing, battery technology, and diverse models, while Tesla faces challenges from policy changes and reputational issues. This marks a significant change in the global auto industry.
Following Tesla's 1.64 million vehicle deliveries in 2025—a 9% decline that handed the global battery EV lead to BYD's 2.26 million—regional sales drops in Europe (nearly 30%) and China (first since 2020) have fueled debate. Tesla's reliance on just two main models contrasts with BYD's 30-model portfolio, potentially missing opportunities to sustain growth amid rising EV demand.
