Hamilton’s Andretti F1 stance that ‘people won’t be happy’ about
Lewis Hamilton has expressed his support for Andretti’s FIA-approved entry into Formula 1, despite the controversy surrounding it. The FIA has given Andretti the green light to have commercial discussions with Formula One Management, but there are doubts about whether they will be able to secure the necessary commercial agreement. There are two main camps on this issue – those who want to protect the existing teams and those who believe F1 would benefit from more entrants. Hamilton’s support for Andretti aligns him with his former rival Max Verstappen, who also believes it would provide more opportunities for drivers. However, many within the sport, including Hamilton’s Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff, have expressed doubts about the viability of adding another team to the grid.
