Ex-Renault technical director Nick Chester is believed to have joined Andretti for its F1 project. Full story here:
In Andretti's hunt for F1 experience, a source has confirmed to Motorsport.com that the team has managed to lure Chester from Formula E to head up its technical operations as it continues its expansion plans.
The American squad has, after a period of making its plans to join F1 known publicly, submitted its official expression of interest to join the field to the FIA as the governing body opened the application process for as early as 2025. However, Andretti's declaration of interest has earned cool reactions from the current cast of F1 teams, with them attempting to cement their franchise value by pushing the entry fee up from $200m to $600m.
To bolster its chances of securing an entry, Andretti has linked up with General Motors to introduce the Cadillac brand into F1, although this would not involve the American marque producing its own powertrain.
Andretti has been approached for comment on Chester's signing, but Motorsport.com has currently received no response.
