FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has changed his stance on admitting Andretti Cadillac to Formula 1, advising Andretti to 'go and buy another team'.
Andretti was refused a 2026 entry by F1 after the FIA had admitted its application on a technical basis. Ben Sulayem was proponent of expanding F1's grid of 10 teams, opening up a tender process that only Andretti passed. “We have a contract, and our contract says we have up to 12 teams,' he told Motorsport.com last year. 'So, we are not breaking the rules. We are, on the contrary, fulfilling the rules.
'It’s about having the right team, not to lose a chance or an opportunity where someone like GM with a PU is coming to Formula 1. 'Imagine the impact. We have three races in America. We have such a huge fan base. But we don’t have a proper team. I’m so happy to have Ford in but imagine having GM and imagine having American drivers.
