After Formula 1 issued its rejection letter to prospective American team Andretti, there were two standout rulings in their document.
Andretti’s attempt to join the Formula 1 grid was met with a disappointing verdict, which was not entirely unexpected. In the rejection letter, F1 explained why it felt that it was not the right time for an 11th team to enter the championship. Two pieces of information in the ruling stood out: the competitiveness argument and the burden on promoters. F1 concluded that Andretti would not be a competitive participant, as it doubted their ability to build two different cars in their first two years. The ruling also stated that adding an 11th team would place an operational burden on race promoters and reduce the spaces of other competitors. F1’s aim seems to be protecting the current teams while ensuring better procedures for new entrants.
