Andretti have received the FIA’s approval to join the F1 grid but will now have to convince FOM to also allow their entry.
Andretti have been searching for a place on the grid since 2021 and have announced a partnership with General Motors to run as Andretti-Cadillac, bringing a value many of the existing teams had wanted to see. Applications were also judged on their ability to meet sustainability criteria and deliver positive societal impact in line with the FIA’s approach to equality, diversity and inclusion.
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem said: “The FIA was very clear in establishing stringent criteria for entry from the outset of the Expressions of Interest procedure. Our objective, after rigorous due diligence during the application phase, was to only approve prospective entries which satisfied the set criteria and illustrated that they would add value to the sport.
