Michael Andretti says he is still hoping to be on the grid in 2025, but still waiting for conversations with F1/FOM to even begin.

    It is quite exciting that we will hopefully soon see another new team join F1, I hope they can stir the pot in the championship

    Is GM not yet involved? Why would they use Toyota’s wind tunnel and not one of GM’s?

      There are rules regarding wind tunnels. McLaren already had a wind tunnel, but used this same Toyota tunnel until this year.

        There are rules regarding wind tunnels.

        There aren’t for non-participants. You can make an 2023 F1 car model and test it in your private wind tunnel for how long you like.

          If you’re looking to build a model to build upon for an actual car. Then it makes sense to follow the rules.

            Then it makes sense to follow the rules.

            What amount is their wind tunnel and CFD allowance then? 🙄

            Hint: The FIA has not allocated wind tunnel and CFD time to Andretti because they aren’t competing.

              Don’t know what you’re deliberately being obtuse. The implications of Andretti building a model to F1 spec is pretty clear.

                  Again you’re being deliberately obtuse.

                  If there are rules regarding wind tunnels and you want to show you can build an F1 car to spec, why use a wind tunnel that doesn’t follow those rules.

                  There is no way you can see Andretti build a model to F1 spec and test it in a wind tunnel used by F1 teams. And not understand the significance of that.
