![[Adam Stern] "The word is that the FIA will soon announce that it has no objection to Andretti Global getting an F1 entry.](https://i.imgur.com/AIJ5RGA.png){kind=link}
The bad news is that … to get an entry one also needs agreement from the Formula One group and there seems no interest at all in them agreeing."

I remember hearing about them hiring for an F1 project, but I don’t know where any of that went.
That again speaks to why I’m skeptical of them being successful. They don’t have the staff they’d need to run a full F1 operation, and being based in the US isn’t going to help attract talent from existing teams.
I don’t disagree that GM might help, but at that point why would they bother with partnering with Andretti? Other than the name they bring very little to the table.
Ferrari uses AF Corse to run their WEC Hypercar program. Lamborghini uses Iron Lynx for their upcoming WEC Hypercar program. Lawrence Stroll is paying Honda to make a 2026 engine exclusively for Aston Martin.
Andretti is perfectly capable of running trackside operations and if Michael opens his wallet to even pay for a good chunk of development cost, why not.
