F1 asked General Motors to find a different partner, other than Andretti, to enter the sport, according to AP.
Andretti Racing is still awaiting confirmation from F1 and the teams regarding their application to join the grid in either 2025 or 2026. The FIA has given their approval, but F1 seems resistant and has reportedly approached General Motors (GM) about partnering with another team in addition to Andretti. F1’s hope is that GM’s involvement with an existing team would weaken Andretti’s bid. Without GM’s support, F1 could argue that Andretti lacks the resources to be an 11th team and add value to the sport. Some figures, such as Toto Wolff and Guenther Steiner, have expressed doubts or concerns about Andretti’s bid, while Zak Brown and Mike Krack appear more supportive.
