Andretti Motorsports has been unsuccessful in securing entry into Formula 1 as the 11th team due to the rejection of their proposal by the Formula One Management. The American motorsports tycoon, along with his father Mario, a former Formula 1 World Champion, had invested millions into their ambitious project to become a new entrant in F1. Despite receiving approval from the , their proposal was outright rejected by the Formula One Management.
Introducing a Formula 1 team requires extensive research and development, as well as a significant injection of funds. In order to support their quest for a seat as the 11th team in F1, Andretti Motorsports had partnered with General Motors as their engine supplier in early 2023. However, once the team seemed ready to proceed, GM applied to become partners with Andretti Motorsports from 2028 onwards. As a result, the potential Formula 1 team was named Andretti-Cadillac.
Unfortunately, Andretti-Cadillac’s proposal to enter F1 has been rejected, rendering the funds invested in their dream project futile. Nevertheless, General Motors remains confident that Andretti Motorsports will find a way into F1 in the future, as their planned car model is highly capable.
Throughout the 2023 season, Andretti and Cadillac have been dedicated to developing the perfect racecar to introduce their new team into the world of motorsports. However, their efforts were halted when the Formula One Management refused to accept their proposal to enter as the 11th team.
Contrary to expectations, the Vice President of General Motors/Cadillac, Jim Campbell, has announced that their team will continue to develop an F1-worthy car despite the rejection of their application by the Formula One Management.
In other news, Andretti-Cadillac claims to have been unaware of a meeting requested by the Formula One Management. Apparently, the email containing the meeting details ended up in their spam folder, resulting in the team’s stakeholders not being able to meet with the Formula One Management. This oversight may have contributed to the rejection of their proposal to enter F1.
