Members of the United States Congress have written to Liberty Media over the block on Andretti’s F1 entry bid.
Twelve members of the United States Congress have questioned Formula 1 owner Liberty Media about the rejection of Andretti’s entry bid. F1 turned down Andretti’s proposed grand prix entry earlier, fearing it would dilute the prize pot and raise doubts about Andretti’s competitiveness in the championship. Mario Andretti, along with Congressman John James of Michigan and others, are pressing for answers from Liberty by May 3rd. The members of Congress are concerned that preventing American companies like Andretti Global and General Motors from competing in F1 could breach anti-trust laws. They are seeking clarity on why Andretti’s bid was rejected and how it aligns with the Sherman Act requirements.
