Andretti Cadillac's F1 Bid Rejected via Spam Email

Formula One's invitation for an in-person meeting with Andretti Cadillac regarding its application to join the series was mistakenly sent to a spam email folder, leading to a lack of response from the Andretti camp. Despite F1's rejection of the application, Andretti Cadillac clarified that it had been targeting a 2026 entry into the series, not 2025 as stated by F1. The Andretti family, well-known in motorsports, has been striving to expand into F1, aiming to establish a true American team in the series, potentially featuring California-born IndyCar driver Colton Herta.

Formula One rejected Andretti Global's proposal to join the grid in 2025 or 2026, citing doubts over competitiveness, reliance on existing engine manufacturers, and minimal expected positive impact on the sport's financial results. The decision was influenced by concerns from existing teams about prize fund dilution and the anti-dilution fee. However, Andretti may have a chance to enter in 2028 with a General Motors-built engine, which could address some of the concerns raised by F1.
