the entrance of Cadillac and Andretti in the Formula 1 is closer than ever. The FIA opened a period for the submission of proposals for new teamswho wanted to enter the ‘Great Circus’. They presented themselves Hi Techhe Panthera Team Asia…, but the most serious proposal is that of the Americans, so much so that they take it for granted.
This has been stated Eric Warrenexecutive director of motor sports at General Motors, in an interview for the ‘Fox’ network: “There is a formal process underway. We’ll see what happens. It won’t be easy, but hope to enter F1“.
Not only do they hope to enter the ‘Great Circus’ but Warren expects an answer this month: “We don’t want to waste time. We are working closely with Andretti to prepare and design a car for 2025. We have answered all the questions put to us by the FIA and we expect a decision this month. From a business and growth point of view, Cadillac presence comes naturally“.
That answer is expected for the July 15, date set by the FIA to communicate to the teams presented if they pass to the second phase of admission. And although Formula 1 continues to be somewhat reluctant, the inclusion of two new teams is expected, with Cadillac’s proposal being a clear favourite, and Andretti.
So much so that the president of the FIA himself, Mohammed ben Sulayempractically confirmed to them on the 2025 grid in an interview for ‘AP’: “Can you imagine us saying ‘no’ to General Motors? Where would common sense be if we did? GM is a heavyweight and having them come with Andretti is good for us.”
