Pat Symonds joins Andretti as a consultant. He should help them to be ready for 2028 & in the meantime, should be able to assist them with saying the right things in their application to be successful.

What are they actually doing at their Silverstone base?
There is no car to run, no developments to plot, no races to attend.. and won’t be for some time yet, if at all.. I’d suggest perhaps their biggest bill is for tea and biscuits? |

According to Joe Saward’s blog today the new Concorde Agreement will have a clause that new entrants in F1 must have competed in and won championships in F2 and F3.
They are determined to block Andretti/GM no matter what it takes. |

If true, then the closed shop mentality is beyond a joke now. This is not how F1 should be run.

It’s been a few years but they’ve won in Indycar, still competing of course. It’s a similar task to F2, so should be able to claim an equivalence. |

I wonder if the Andretti family have any links to the Dorilton Capital group? |

Trying to claim equivalency is not likely to go anywhere with Indy NXT being at the level of a regional formula rather than F2. but either way there seems to be a strong swing in motorsport generally leading to some very fixed pathways and procedures being made fixed steps in all single seater racing. It's a long way already from the free world open-ended style of competition we had thirty or forty years ago. By 2030 or earlier I think F1 will simply be a form of public entertainment, a series of 'events' run around the glop under the title of F1 (or maybe abandon the FIA and simply call it Grand Prix) where a group of select people run teams for the event and it is televised to people living in cities around the globe as one of a selection of events run from a central administration to entertain the masses. That might be six years or more away but it is entirely consistent with the agenda toward sustainability, so watch where the world goes to from here. |

That’s an interesting future…maybe even add an element with the top teams ultimately meeting up for some sort champions league set of race to cap off the season?
Would be different for sure but an intriguing idea. The commercial benefits are clearly there. |

They would tell him to buy a team.This is all about keeping it at 10 teams.
