Andretti you know what you are going to have than scratching your pocket more if you want to be in F1. If you want, rather, have the option of being in F1. Stefano Domenicali, the big boss, has already warned that the 200 million dollars they were asking for from those who wanted to be part of the grid will rise due to the increase in the “business value”.
And that is bad news for the North American team, for those who more interest have shown for several months already in being the eleventh team in the F1 World Cup.
“Yes, we have started the process to have another team”, Domenicali told investors.
And he has already warned: “The payment was 200 million dollars a couple of years ago, but at that time no one expected the value of this business to grow that much.”
“Now the situation is different. We must make sure that we protect this business. That we have a broader vision, “he insists.
Domenicali has also confirmed that it is not only Andretti who wants to join: “There are teams that make more noise… and others that they are quieter. There are many who want to be here.”
“Someone has to evaluate everything. We will do the right thing at some point during this year.”
Who knows if F1 will grow with more teams. The year 2026 is considered key for names like Andretti, Honda and to know if there are any more surprises that can be encouraged… and that not only have the more than 200 million dollars they are asking for but also get the support of both the FIA like the teams.
