Why Andretti doesn’t accept F1’s rejection arguments
Since 2017, Liberty Media and Formula 1 have made significant improvements to the championship, but they recently faced criticism for rejecting a future Andretti Cadillac entry. The decision, which came exactly seven years after the official handover from Bernie Ecclestone to CEO Chase Carey, was met with surprise and outrage, particularly among US fans who view the Andretti name as iconic. F1 justified their decision by stating that the Andretti brand would benefit from being associated with F1, rather than the other way around. This statement caused controversy and raised questions about F1’s judgment. The rejection also brought attention to the changing dynamics between the FIA and F1, as the final say now rests with F1 rather than the FIA. Despite the backlash, Andretti Cadillac remains determined to move forward and continue their efforts to enter F1.
