P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Even though the prospective American team has faced opposition, some drivers have thrown support behind them.
George Russell believes that Andretti has the necessary quality to join the Formula 1 grid as the 11th team, despite opposition from existing teams who fear financial impacts. The FIA recently approved Andretti Formula Racing LLC’s application after rejecting three other teams. Andretti is now in commercial talks with Formula One Management for the final phase of their entry. Lewis Hamilton, a fellow Mercedes driver, supports Andretti’s entry as an opportunity to create more jobs in F1. Russell is indifferent about Andretti’s entry but believes that if there is an extra team, it should be a quality outfit that can add value to the sport.
