Andretti Global recently received approval from the FIA, but now they must secure a commercial deal with F1’s promoter. Despite facing opposition from existing F1 teams, Michael and his father Mario Andretti defended their project. They believe that their team will bring in more than it takes away and will add to the fan support. The team is aiming to join the grid in either 2025 or 2026. Former Lotus and Renault technical director Nick Chester is leading the development of Andretti’s F1 project. The team plans to have an American driver partnered with an experienced driver. However, colton Herta’s lack of superlicence points may complicate his selection. Andretti emphasized that they will not give up easily despite the challenges they face.
