F1 risks looking foolish if it does not accept Andretti entry
Andretti has received approval from the FIA to join the Formula 1 grid, marking an important step in their quest. They will now enter into discussions with Liberty Media, the commercial rights holder, who holds the power to grant full approval. The resistance from existing teams to open up the grid to more teams is well-known, but denying Andretti’s entry could make F1 appear snobbish and resistant to growth. The United States has seen a significant increase in F1 races in the past decade, and having a team with the legendary Andretti name will contribute to the country’s growth plans. Andretti’s experience and successful track record in various motorsport categories prove their capabilities and financial sustainability. Rejecting a credible 11th entry could undermine F1’s image as a competitive and entertaining sport under Liberty Media’s management.
