Andretti ‘great name’ to add to F1 – Alonso
Formula One driver Fernando Alonso expressed his support for Andretti Cadillac Racing joining F1, calling it a great addition to the sport. Andretti has passed the FIA’s examination and is in commercial discussions with FOM about their entry bid. However, F1 and its teams are not keen on adding another team due to the financial implications it would bring. Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll has also mentioned that Andretti may not be necessary given the current strength of F1. Alonso, who has raced with Andretti in the past, admitted that he will trust whichever decision is made but believes Andretti would be a strong team. He also mentioned that competition in F1 is mainly between individual drivers rather than teams. Alonso trusts the FIA and FOM to make the best decision regarding adding a new team.
