Vasseur warns F1 against ‘arrogance’ over Andretti bid
Ferrari Team Principal Frederic Vasseur expressed his concerns about “arrogance” if Andretti Cadillac Racing were to enter Formula One. While Andretti has cleared the initial phases of the FIA’s entry process, it must now finalize commercial discussions with Formula One Management to secure its position as the 11th team. Existing teams have opposed the addition of a new team due to the potential impact on financial rewards. Vasseur highlighted that the decision to allow an 11th team was made when Honda was considering leaving F1, and it was important for the new entry to bring substantial value, particularly in terms of the engine. He emphasized the need to prevent arrogance and acknowledged the progress made by the existing teams. Vasseur questioned the added value that Andretti could bring, considering there is already an American team (Haas) and an American driver on the grid.
