Andretti Autosport, powerh𝓡ouses in the US motorsports 𒆙world, have lodged an official application to join F1 by 2026 which the FIA are considering.

The current 10 teams are largely against welcoming an♍ 11th, and Mercedes boss Toto Wolff claimed last week that new entrants should “buy a team”.

B🌺ut ✃Andretti was quoted by : “We’ve tried. Nobody’s interested.

“We’ve been to everyꦰ single team. They keep saying ‘buy a team’, and nobody wants to sell! 

“You go there, and they’re n🐎ot even interested in talking. I🐲’ve been there, done that.

“Everybꦏod🐟y has their own reasons why they’re doing things. 

“They are trying to protect their own interests. I can’t b♋lame them.

“Everybody’s been looking out for ﷽themselves. When I said that I got criticised becauꦏse I didn’t agree with it. 

“If I was in their situation, I’d📖 probably do the same thing. So I don’t blame the teams.🌳 

“They all are going to look at this for themselves, beꦕcause that’s what they need to do to be competitive.

“It’s a very, very expensive sportꦇ. There’s a lot involved, and there’s a lot of commitment from every team. 

“They have got to make sure they protect�ꦆ� that, and I understand that’s what they’re trying to do. 

“But in the end, they’re not going to be the ones that make the decision. It’s going to🌱 be up to the series and the FIA to decide if they think it’s the right thing to do.”

Andretti intend to link up with General Motors 💟and🌠 Cadillac to bring a massive US influence to F1.
