The topic of multi-team ownership in Formula 1 is under scrutiny as the FIA, led by president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, questions its suitability for the sport. While he did not call for a ban, he expressed that owning multiple teams is problematic. The debate has resurfaced due to reports linking Mercedes-Benz to a potential investment in BWT Alpine F1 Team, which has seen its valuation rise from €200 million in 2023 to nearly €800 million today. Critics, including Zak Brown, argue that co-ownership poses significant risks to the integrity of the sport, a sentiment echoed by Ben Sulayem, who stated that the FIA is assessing the need for tighter regulations. Currently, multi-team ownership remains legal, but increasing investment interest and scrutiny may lead to changes in the future.
