Hamilton clarifies Andretti stance, says F1 needs more diverse team owners
The FIA has approved Andretti’s bid to form a new team in Formula 1. Lewis Hamilton initially expressed support for the new team, but later clarified that he supports the idea of more diversity in the sport rather than Andretti specifically. The current teams are concerned about a new entry destabilizing F1 and affecting their commercial income. Andretti must now seek approval from the rights holder, FOM, to proceed further. Hamilton believes that the FIA’s team entry criteria should be amended to promote diversity and give opportunities to female drivers. He also expressed confidence in F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali’s ability to make the right decisions for the sport.
