F1 Rejects Andretti's Bid for 2025 Entry

Former Haas boss Guenther Steiner believes F1's rejection of Andretti's bid to join the grid before 2028 is a move to protect the sport from uncompetitive teams. F1 cited concerns about Andretti's readiness and questioned its understanding of the competitive challenge. Steiner likened F1's decision to football's safeguards like relegation and emphasized the increased pressure on new teams to be competitive due to the sport's changed landscape, including budget caps and global popularity.
