General Motors will only enter F1 with Andretti

For his project Formula 1, Andretti decided to join forces with a manufacturer, undoubtedly to support his candidacy. The family firm therefore chose to combine its forces with Cadillac, from General Motors.

A large-scale and promising project. But now, this comes up against the reluctance of F1, a very closed circle and not really inclined to expand. However, Andretti has everything of the perfect candidate. A family of champions, a reference in many disciplines, solid finances. But for the moment, the Indianapolis structure is patient. Be patient while your application continues to be reviewed, one month after validation of the project by the FIA.

The Andretti clan present in Las Vegas?

On the side of General Motors, this circumspection of the 10 teams does not necessarily go down very well. The automobile giant dreams of Formula 1 but is still stuck and cannot plan for the future without an answer. However, GM does not intend to rush to join the paddock and, for example, knock on another door. For the Michigan firm, it's Andretti or nothing.

« GM enters into partnership with Andretti to race in F1, said Mark Reuss, president of GM, to the Associated Press agency. The Andretti and Cadillac collaboration brings together two unique racing-focused entities, both of which have a long history of success in global motorsport »

According to AP, General Motors intends to send a “ small group » of executives at the Las Vegas Grand Prix next weekend (November 17-19) with a view to relaunching discussions with F1 and its owner, Liberty Media, about Andretti's candidacy. Perhaps the best solution to speak with the Formula 1 pundits since Andretti told the Associated Press at the United States Grand Prix that Stefano Domenicali, the president of F1, “ didn't answer his calls or messages"
