Not in the least. The vast majority of F1 talent resides in the UK. Basing the operations outside of UK would greatly limit the amount of experienced F1 talent they could attract. They're already in a dodgy situation because they are not actually in F1 yet, but they are already developing and building shite.

Most teams in F1 as well as the F1 itself are HQ'd in the UK as well, IIRC.

Relevant from this morning:

motorsport.com/f1/news/andretti-hires-pat-symonds-as-push-to-join-f1-grid-continues-/10613735/

quote:
Pat Symonds was set to leave his position as F1's chief technical officer after seven years in the job, playing a crucial role in contributing to F1's technical regulations for 2022 and 2026.

With the chassis rules for 2026 all but finalised, Symonds decided to leave the organisation as had long been under consideration.

It has now emerged that Andretti Global is Symonds's next destination, with Michael Andretti's organisation hiring the 70-year-old as an Executive Engineering Consultant.

He will work from the team's recently opened UK base in Silverstone following a gardening leave period.
