Andretti-Cadillac has released a second statement highlighting flaws with Formula One Management’s decision to deny it an entry into F1
Following the FIA’s Expression of Interest process, Andretti’s proposal to join Formula 1 was accepted in October of last year. However, earlier this week, F1 announced that Andretti’s team was rejected. FOM stated that they would reconsider the application in 2028 if General Motors also entered as an engine manufacturer. F1 expressed doubt about Andretti’s ability to be a competitive participant, as they planned to enter the sport in 2025, just one year before significant regulation changes. Despite initially targeting 2025, Andretti clarified that their focus has shifted to 2026 due to the delay in decision-making. F1 claimed that an invitation for an in-person meeting was extended to Andretti, but the team has stated that they were unaware of this offer and are open to meeting FOM to discuss their interest.
