Andretti took a big step forward in their journey to F1 this week but who stands to win and lose should their bid become successful?
After months of speculation, the FIA confirmed that Andretti were the sole applicant to receive the seal of approval in terms of adding a new team to the grid.
Of the prominent Americans involved in the sport, Logan Sargeant and Zak Brown are the standouts but while one has become a successful CEO, he is doing it at a distinctly British team. Sargeant meanwhile has not exactly set the world alight and having left the country early on, even he admits he is not a household name just yet.
He already drives for their IndyCar outfit and a contract extension sealed last year through to 2027 stated he was only signed to Andretti Autosport, not which series he would be racing in.Away from the US fans, all Formula 1 fans look set to benefit depending on what Andretti bring to the table. It has been 14 years since a team not called Red Bull or Mercedes won the Constructors’ title and 25 years since it left Motorsport Valley in England.
So should Andretti decide to stick with Renault then it would be not only a welcome boost of money but also reassurance given they are the only PU supplier who currently supply just one team, their own.Andretti have become somewhat of a poster boy for a battle between the sports’ two loudest voices – the FIA and FOM.
