Andretti wants to enter Formula 1 as eleventh team. The son of the legendary Maria Andretti is the owner of a racing team that is active in series, among other things IndyCar, IMSA in Formula E. Andretti wants to enter the royal motorsport class under by his name, but not all teams are exactly committed to his arrival as well FIA still waiting for a decision.
Despite the past effort Formula 1 drivers for more teams, there was talk of 12 teams as a kind of ideal, but now we are witnessing it all at once with reservation. Apparently they are Formula 1 in the FIA under the great influence of current teams. And how else, the biggest problem is in distribution of money. Eleven teams need it total revenue Divide Formula 1 into several parts. This means lower revenue for other teams. These are partially compensated by the entrance fee in the amount $ 200 million, which he must pay Andretti, which only covers losses in the first two seasons.
According to German colleagues from car engine and sportis smaller teams they are also afraid of its place. Additional team means greater competition, and a lower place on the scale less revenue. Bigger teams, however, have their worries. We would be especially afraid of losing our staff because of the new team. Laurent rossi, Executive Director Alpine, supports the entry of a new team, which is not surprising. Andretti would with Alpine entered into a model partnership Haas s Ferrari. In this way, costs can be saved. Andretti it is also said to be looking for future employees with experience in Formula 1 and has already drawn up various contracts.
Colton herta would become a team racer Andretti, cooperation with Alpine however, it could allow a racer from their talent academy to get a second seat. Sam Andretti however, it is already considering possible collaboration with teams Formula 3 in Formula 2to be able to better track talent. Andretti must wait for an answer FIAfor it must fulfill all theirs criteria (Andretti says that's not a problem), but then he has to give his blessing as well Liberty Medium. Majority owners have said they will only give consent if there is a clear one chorister for Formula 1.
Andretti highlights above all additional earnings, which Formula 1 will receive with the expansion of the American market with extra American team in an American racer. But whichever way we turn, we can see where the dog is praying. If it will Andretti can enter, we'll probably get some more race in USA, but if he cannot or will not, he will confirm this and proof, under what the influence of teams and manufacturers is Formula 1.
