"F1 Denies Michael Andretti's Bid for 2026 Team Entry"

Formula One rejected Michael Andretti's bid to join the series in 2025 or 2026, citing concerns about competitiveness and the challenge of building two different cars in the first two years. However, F1 is open to reconsidering the application in 2028 when General Motors has an engine ready for competition. The decision comes after GM's announcement of becoming an engine supplier starting in 2028, leading to a complex situation for F1. Andretti's push to join F1 as a true American team has faced opposition, and F1 emphasized the importance of competitiveness and the value a new entrant would bring to the championship.
