The FIA President explains why there should be no concerns over an additional team taking up more garage space.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem dismisses concerns about adding an 11th team garage in Formula 1, referring to the Brad Pitt film currently in development. Andretti Formula Racing LLC is in the final phase of joining the F1 grid after their bid was accepted by the FIA. Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff has raised concerns about safety and logistics, especially at circuits like Monaco and Zandvoort. Currently, there is limited space for additional entities, with FIA Personnel, FOM, and the ten existing teams occupying the garage area. However, Ben Sulayem assures that there will be space for another team once filming for the movie concludes. It is part of F1’s circuit contracts to accommodate at least 12 teams, according to Ben Sulayem.
