F1 enters the worst-case scenario over Andretti Cadillac entry
Andretti Cadillac’s entry has received FIA approval, bringing Formula 1 one step closer to having an 11th team. However, the approval also means that the situation is now more complicated. Rather than a clear-cut decision, F1 now enters a middle ground where there will be commercial discussions to determine the team’s future. This process may further prolong the resolution, potentially leading to legal disputes if Andretti Cadillac is rejected on commercial grounds. This situation deviates from the usual excitement and intrigue of welcoming a new F1 team, as there is a lack of clarity and consensus among stakeholders. The process has been marred by misunderstandings and conjecture, increasing the risk of a messy outcome. It is regrettable that despite the FIA’s approval, there is still a dearth of factual information. Ultimately, a decision must be made that may alienate and anger many people, and it may take longer than anticipated to reach a resolution, possibly even spilling into the 2024 season.
