General Motors still “confident” in Andretti Cadillac F1 bid
General Motors’ vice president of performance and motorsport, Jim Campbell, confirmed that the team’s project with Andretti is still moving forward swiftly despite a previous rejection statement by F1. The team had encountered an IT glitch which led to a missed invitation, prompting a subsequent meeting request with F1. The FIA had initially approved the bid in October, with F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali overseeing the next steps in the process. Although last month’s rejection raised concerns about competitiveness, there remains potential for a positive outcome once Cadillac introduces its own power unit in 2028. Campbell expressed confidence in the joint capabilities of Andretti and Cadillac, emphasizing their history of success in motorsport categories. The team is actively developing its car with a focus on competitiveness.
