The snobs at F1 are making a big mistake. They need more interest from racing fans in the USA, especially in light of the multiple races here. Andretti would bring a wealth of new interest. Too bad it looks like it would be 4 years longer(!)
Sounds like F1 wants to protect their teams from competition.
The reason F1 has become more popular recently, in America, is “driven” entirely by a celebrity-based social media phenomenon and has nothing to do with the racing. The racing, itself, in F1 is the worst!
I’d argue Netflix’s annual documentary of the year created a great deal of interest and the recent races in Miami/Vegas.
F1 clearly stated it’s their “European elite club” and no you aren’t allowed to join.
It’s so obvious F1 went with this “no, but…” strategy/decision so they can run the clock out on the current Concorde Agreement (ends 2025) which only has a dilution fee of $200M for any new team entering, and then charge Andretti 2-4x that when they jack up the dilution fee in next agreement.
Wow. That’s a bummer and this will hurt the American fans (like F1 actually cares anyways).
F1 only wants American money–not competition from an American team. Hass doesn’t count and they are exactly what F1 used as an excuse stating that Andretti would not be competitive and would not bring value to F1. Hass is a miserable team and will never be competitive. F1 is a political joke. Unfortunately, the majority of the attendees at the American F1 races aren’t racing fans. They are the “beautiful” wealthy people who can afford the $20K seats and are attending to be seen. They have no clue about what is really going on. F F1.
I have never been much of a fan of Formula One, for many of the reasons stated above, and them less inclined to support them now. The debacle at the Speedway where only half the cars ran because of tire issues gives proof to the fact that Formula One does not care about its fans. What they are doing to Andretti is unconscionable.
Perhaps more importantly, the racing is just not that good, especially when compared to either IndyCar or NASCAR. If I want to go see a nice parade, I will go to New York on Thanksgiving day.
Andretti, Gainbridge, and Cadillac should be thanking their lucky stars. They will save hundreds of millions of dollars while avoiding insolvency and embarrassment. This whole exercise has been ill-conceived from the beginning. Slim chance the US infatuation w/ F1 lasts until 2028. By that time the writing will be on the wall for the Miami race, maybe Vegas too.
Long time follower, first time caller… that’s my fear with F1 and this bad decision. It’s going to mar fan base here.
Ditto to all above except I say “F U, F1”!
It seems like there is bad blood between Andretti and F1 perhaps from years ago when Michael tried and failed to gain traction in the series. That said, for them to say “….the Andretti name carrys some recognition for F1 fans”, is a joke and completely patronizing. I venture to say any F1 fan worth their salt knows the Andretti name. The series has alway been a money hungry political club which is a shame because the cars are amazing feats of engineering.
Michael’s got stories that imply the team wasn’t that interested in him as a driver anyway, due to Senna returning to the team late and their test driver being very interesting to them. (Some guy named Hakkinen … think things turned out OK for him…)
The cars are frankenstienish (?), and they make drivers irrelevant. If you have the car you dominate for 3 to 5 years and the the top 3 team rotate.
Michael needs to pour his rage into IndyCar and unseat Ganassi and Penske domination. Focus on REAL racing.
F1 is glitzy, Driven is pretty fun to watch but races are as boring AF. There is no competition in the series, just a “sporty” reality show.
Stay Stateside with Andretti Autosport
My guess, this changes the look of Andretti Global HQ!
Figure 8 is the best racing. Even better with beer.
