Andretti’s plan to run an F1 team from four locations
The Andretti United Formula 1 team aims to make its debut in 2025 with a customer Renault power unit, pending approval from Formula One Management. The team’s long-term plan is to have a Cadillac V6 engine in their cars by 2028. Despite the lack of official confirmation from F1, Andretti United has been actively progressing with its program and is currently working on design and wind tunnel testing. The team will operate from four sites across three countries, with the race team and design departments based in Silverstone, the aerodynamics team using the Toyota wind tunnel in Cologne, and simulations and R&D conducted in the GM Motorsports facility in Charlotte. Manufacturing will eventually be based in Andretti Global’s new facility in Fishers, Indiana. The team has already recruited key personnel, including technical director Nick Chester, and plans to bring in experienced F1 veterans who have previously been involved in start-up projects.
