Christian Horner has offered some advice to Andretti on how to get onto the F1 grid.
Andretti Autosport, a prominent name in the US racing scene, are clamouring to enter Formula 1, with Michael Andretti’s outfit doing its utmost to win over the approval of F1, the FIA, and the 10 existing teams on the grid.
But the reception to a potential Andretti entry, despite their prominence in the US, has been lukewarm at best, withAndretti have since announced a partnership with Cadillac for a renewed push to enter the sport, while US involvement has since picked up a gear with the arrival of Ford as an engine manufacturer after partnering up with Red Bull Powertrains.
The FIA have since opened up the possibility for potential new teams to enter the sport, meaning Andretti can formally apply to begin the process of entry. Any financial concerns, such as the ability to pay the $200 million entry fee that will be disseminated amongst the existing 10 teams, have been assuaged by Andretti.– a sentiment shared by Christian Horner.
‘There’s absolutely nothing against Andretti, they’re great people and Cadillac is a wonderful brand, but we need to come up with a criteria for 2026 that doesn’t diminish the value of, particularly, the smaller teams, and deals with the elephant in the room of: who is actually going to pay for it?
