Cyril Abiteboul is not ruling out a move into Formula 1 for the Korean carmaker Hyundai. The former Caterham and Renault team boss has just become boss of Hyundai Motorsport, where his first major outing is the Monte Carlo rally this weekend. But Hyundai has also been linked with a potential Formula 1 foray for the post-2026 period with new engine rules. “This is our top priority at the moment,” said Abiteboul. “As far as Formula 1 goes, I don’t want to say ‘yes’ because there will be headlines right away that Hyundai is going into Formula 1,” he added.
