The one F1 team open to welcoming an 11th team - and why

The French outfit would generate a new source of rꦯevenue by providing engines and a chassis to🍌 the new teams, in a similar arrangement to Ferrari and Haas, according to .
There are four applicants to enter the F1 grid from 2026 - their identities remain unconfirmed by AMUS report them to be Andretti Autosport, Hitech Grand Prix, Lucky Sun (from China and Hong Kong) and Rodin Motorsport (based in New Z🃏ealand).
Nine F1 te✅ams, other than Alpine, are largely against the entries of extra cars on the grid.
The 🐽FIA must assess the four applicants and examine whether they are financially and technically capable of adding to F1.
Andretti Autosport and Hitech Grand Prix are likely to get “the green light” when the reviews process conꦆcludes at the end of💟 July, the same report claims.
F1 and FIA "power struggle"
A “power struggle” could emerge between 𓆉F1 and the FIA over the new teams.
“FIA P꧙resident Mohammed Bin Sulayem could want to use Andretti as an example to show who is the real boss in the house,” AMUS report.
“He is apparently increasingly bothered by the fact that the public perception is different. For most, Stefan♔o Domenicali is the boss.”
F1 can veto the new teams but cannot block themཧ altogether. The FIA have the last word on who gets a license.
However, a licence does not mean a new team is a part of the Concorde Agreement (the deal between F1 and the teams over how to spliꦏt money).
Only Liberty Media, thജe own𝓡ers of F1, can approve this.
