Formula One’s January verdict by Liberty Media benched Andretti’s bid, citing competition concerns and value doubts, yet eyes 2028 for a potential General Motors engine alliance.
In a high-stakes race for justice, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee’s chairman has fired up an investigation into Formula One’s cold shoulder to Andretti Cadillac’s team aspirations. The drama unfolded with NBC News spotlighting a letter from Jim Jordan, challenging F1’s leadership over potential ‘anticompetitive conduct’.
While Liberty Media, F1’s proprietor, parked Andretti’s bid last January questioning its competitive edge, it didn’t rule out a future lap in 2028 with General Motors powering the engines.
At the helm of Andretti Global is racing royalty Michael Andretti, chasing his father Mario’s legendary tracks. Despite the FIA’s green light in October 2023, F1 Management’s red flag has sparked a clash of titans.
Jordan’s missive cuts to the chase: the denial of Andretti Cadillac seems less about merit and more about mystery, with American fans and sponsors potentially paying the price.
As the Judiciary Committee gears up to potentially reshape sports league laws, they’re summoning F1 for a pit stop briefing, racing against the clock to clear the air before Monaco’s glitzy Grand Prix.
Meanwhile, Mario Andretti, at 84, assures Sky Sports that their F1 dream is full throttle ahead, targeting a 2026 grid debut. Andretti Global’s new Silverstone base is now the nerve center for this ambition, where design and dreams are being engineered for the ultimate victory lap. 🏁
