FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem says “I am optimistic they will not say no” to Andretti’s planned F1 entry.
The FIA has granted the US team’s request to join the series alongside General Motors and Cadillac, but the decision is now up to the Formula One Management, which includes the current 10 teams. Some team bosses have questioned the need for Andretti and General Motors to have the teams’ support. However, the FIA has the sporting authority and the FOM has the financial authority, so it remains to be seen if the FOM will refuse the request. The addition of Andretti’s team raises concerns about how the revenue would be split among the existing teams. The license belongs to the FIA, but it is unlikely that they would allow a team to compete without receiving any money. Overall, it is hoped that the FOM will see the benefits of having Andretti and General Motors join the series and will approve their request.
