Michael Andretti believes his team, Andretti Autosport, can bring more into Formula 1 as he aims to gain entry into the sport in 2025
Michael Andretti says opposition to his team's prospective entry to Formula 1 is 'a mystery' and that they 'have the right to be on the grid' after sealing FIA approval. Earlier in October, Andretti were approved to become a new 11th team by the sport's governing body, but now must agree terms from the incumbent teams and FOM, the controllers of F1's commercial rights.
Former American racing driver Andretti, who won the US CART championship and had a brief stint in F1 with McLaren in the 1990s, is fronting the bid from his team, which races in other motorsport disciplines, in collaboration with General Motors brand Cadillac. Asked about the stern opposition that has been expressed by current teams, Andretti added: 'I don't know. It's a mystery to me in some ways, why they're pushing back.
