The latest twist in Andretti’s bid to join the Formula 1 grid in the face of continuing resistance is a works engine deal with General Motors’ Cadillac brand. Does this now make it impossible for F1 to snub Andretti Cadillac’s bid?
Andretti’s latest move to secure a spot on the Formula 1 grid involves a works engine deal with General Motors’ Cadillac brand, adding to their bid for entry. While the FIA has given Andretti the green light, F1 approval is still pending. The partnership with Cadillac and the commitment to develop their own works engine strengthens Andretti’s position and makes it difficult for F1 to ignore their bid. The move showcases Andretti’s persistence and determination, as they have consistently come back stronger each time they faced opposition. The announcement also addresses concerns about the credibility and seriousness of the Andretti-Cadillac proposal. However, it still raises questions about whether their entry aligns with F1’s desired model of protecting existing franchises. Despite this, the addition of a new, all-American power unit in five years would be welcomed by teams like Williams.
