“We all want to ensure the championship remains credible and stable and any new entrant request will be assessed on criteria to meet those objectives by all the relevant stakeholders. “There is great interest in the F1 project at this time with a number of conversations continuing that are not as visible as others,” read Formula 1’s statement. While Ben Sulayem also said the news of the Andretti-Cadillac partnership was “welcome”, Formula 1 itself responded to the news with a somewhat tepid statement regarding possible future entrants to the grid, as the FIA president’s invitation is merely the first stage of what is likely to be a lengthy process of getting a new team added to the field. Michael Andretti announced to media including that his team had partnered with GM through Cadillac to submit an expression of interest to the FIA over becoming a new team in Formula 1, after FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem invited prospective entrants to submit bids for a future place on the grid.
Formula 1 issued a reminder that new entrants require their agreement as well as the FIA’s, in the wake of Andretti announcing its partnership with General Motors to launch a bid to get into the sport.
