Michael Andretti stepped down from the day-to-day running of the project to launch his own F1 team.
Mario Andretti denied claims that Michael’s removal played a role in F1 approving Cadillac. Michael had sought to enter F1 with his team and applied in 2023 with GM as a partner. FIA accepted Andretti’s bid but F1 rejected it for lacking commercial benefit. A Cadillac-GM team could join in 2028 with a GM power unit. Michael stepped back, and RacingNews365 reported Cadillac-GM joining in 2026. Mario Andretti clarified that Michael’s departure wasn’t the sole reason for bid acceptance. He mentioned personal factors and hinted that Michael might have considered stepping aside earlier.
