Williams “strongly against” Andretti F1 bid: “It’s not that we’re close-minded”
Williams is strongly against the addition of a new team, Andretti, to the Formula 1 grid due to financial concerns and the potential dilution of funds. The team believes that the current financial stability of teams should be prioritized before introducing a new entity. Williams acknowledges that they themselves are facing significant losses and that half of the grid is financially unstable. They argue that the sport needs to focus on growing the pie rather than shrinking it with the addition of a new team. While they welcome Andretti and General Motors, they emphasize the need to protect the sport as it currently stands.
