Was F1’s assessment of Andretti’s shortcomings fair?
Andretti Cadillac can’t be competitive, FOM argues that it won’t bring enough value to justify an extra spot on the grid. Despite Andretti’s famous name and potential commercial partnerships, FOM believes that the team’s lack of competitiveness would not generate significant interest in the sport. FOM also dismissed the idea of Andretti entering in 2025, as it would require building cars for two different regulations cycles within a short timeframe. In recent history, only Haas has survived as a new team, but it has struggled to achieve significant success. The existing teams in F1 have also become more competitive, making it difficult for new teams to enter and succeed. Therefore, FOM sees no added value in accepting Andretti Cadillac as the 11th team on the grid.
