The DOJ is investigating whether F1's decision to block Andretti Cadillac's entry in 2025 or 2026 violates U.S. antitrust laws. Horner and other team principals believe that while Andretti and Cadillac have strong credentials, the best path to entry is through purchasing an existing team to maintain the sport's stability and value.
