FIA president questioned about F1 “rift” amid Andretti entry saga
Andretti’s proposal to join the F1 grid as the 11th team has been approved by the FIA, but now needs to be decided by Formula One Management. The President of the FIA, Ben Sulayem, emphasized that there will be no rift and the press can write whatever they want. He believes that the relationship can be improved through fairness. The FIA must be strong and up to the challenge, not weaker than the teams or the FOM. Andretti’s proposed entry with Cadillac has caused controversy and concerns about diluting the prize money. However, Ben Sulayem stated that the due diligence was done, and the process of expressing interest was a significant move for the FIA. He is confident that the FOM will accept Andretti’s entry because it is good for the sport and aligns with the FIA’s mission to promote and grow motorsport while being fair.
