New Alpine Team Principal Bruno Famin has insisted the team is open to the addition of an 11th F1 team but that the decision ultimately comes down to Formula One Management.
Famin, the interim Team Principal of the FIA, expressed disappointment that Andretti Cadillac Racing was rejected entry until at least 2028. Despite receiving approval from the FIA, Andretti’s application was turned down after a commercial review by FOM. The team had planned to join the grid in either 2022 or 2026, with a customer engine supply until General Motors and Cadillac were ready to provide their own power unit in 2028. Alpine-Renault was initially rumored to have an agreement with Andretti, but Famin stated that they had not yet made a decision. The ultimate decision rested with FOM, as they are the promoters of the sport.
