Failed F1 team entry bid had seat ‘reserved’ for Chadwick
Rodin Cars submitted a bid to join the Formula 1 World Championship, which included reserving one seat for a female driver, potentially Jamie Chadwick. They also conducted tests for Liam Lawson and Louis Sharp. However, their bid was unsuccessful, and they accept the outcome without seeking reconsideration. Rodin believes that only Andretti Global will be granted entry into F1 by the FIA. They emphasize that their purpose in releasing this information is to inform the F1 community. Rodin had proposed operating their F1 team from New Zealand and had discussions for a collaboration with Ferrari. They argued that their acquisition of Carlin provided a direct pathway to F1 through various championships. Additionally, Rodin claimed to have sufficient financial resources through the personal wealth of founder David Dicker.
