Rodin names Andretti as successful F1 applicant after own failed bid
Rodin Cars has announced that its application to join the Formula 1 grid has been rejected, with Andretti Global being named as the only successful applicant by the FIA. Rodin founder David Dicker stated that the purpose of the statement is not to criticize the FIA or seek reconsideration, but to provide information in the public interest. If Rodin had been successful, they would have been based in New Zealand and guaranteed a seat for a female driver. Dicker also mentioned discussions for a potential partnership with Ferrari. Despite the rejection, Rodin Cars remains committed to pushing the boundaries of motorsport. The FIA has not yet commented on the process, and any successful applicant would still need to reach a commercial agreement with Formula 1 to join the grid.
