BAR co-founder Craig Pollock is now aiming to set up another Formula 1 team. Pollock told CNN that the premise of the team is that it will be completely gender-equal – with half the workforce made up of women. The report said Pollock aims to participate in the FIA’s recently-revealed new-team application process, with the aim of debuting in 2026. “Formula 1 is a little bit like a sieve,” Pollock laughed. But if it does work, Pollock says his project would be historic as the “first Formula 1 team that is truly outside of Europe”. “This has to be built from the bottom up in a Gulf state and this is what we are aiming to do,” Pollock insists.
