Circuit of The Americas chairman Bobby Epstein believes that the addition of Andretti to the Formula 1 grid will not have a significant impact on interest in the United States Grand Prix. Epstein hopes that Andretti joins because of their personal relationship with Mario Andretti, rather than expecting a major business impact. Epstein states that the Austin F1 venue does not require an American team to attract fans, as the current teams and drivers have already connected with the existing fan base. He believes that a winning American driver would be more beneficial. It is reported that Michael and Mario Andretti will be present at COTA for part of the United States Grand Prix weekend, but there are currently no plans for direct discussions with FOM.
