Andretti-Cadillac received advice from various people within the racing community to acquire an existing team on the Formula 1 grid. Despite showing promise, Michael Andretti and Zak Brown faced a firm rejection from Formula 1 when trying to join as the 11th team. Despite their efforts, Formula 1 remains firm in its decision to reject the team. In light of this, several people, including [names], suggested that Andretti-Cadillac consider buying an existing team on the grid.
After Formula 1 officially rejected their offer, FIA President [name] also recommended that Andretti-Cadillac explore the option of acquiring an existing team. [name] noted that this would be the easiest path for Andretti-Cadillac to enter the grid. However, McLaren CEO Zak Brown added that currently there are no teams available for sale on the grid.
Despite the reluctance of rival teams to be sold, Andretti-Cadillac would need to present a tempting offer. The American constructor must be prepared to invest a significant amount of money to secure their place on the grid. However, no team is currently indicating that they are open for sale in the upcoming seasons. Brown mentioned that there may still be a possibility of a team becoming available for purchase in the future.
In previous years, joining the grid or acquiring an existing team was a more accessible and straightforward process. Brown recalled that Williams was sold to Dorilton Capital for approximately $150 million. However, in the current season, it is unlikely that any team would be sold for less than $1.5 billion. This poses a potential obstacle for Andretti-Cadillac in their quest to acquire an existing team.
De plus, le détenteur des droits commerciaux de la Formule 1, [nom], possède actuellement une solide liste de dix équipes avec des perspectives prometteuses. Par conséquent, il sera difficile de convaincre les autorités de considérer l’ajout d’une autre équipe à la grille. Cependant, si Liberty Media envisageait d’étendre à une 11ème et 12ème équipe, ils imposeraient des critères stricts.
Ainsi, Andretti-Cadillac doit soigneusement évaluer ses options et reconsidérer ses chances d’entrer en Formule 1 ou d’explorer la possibilité d’acheter une autre équipe. Malgré les défis, le constructeur américain reste déterminé à réaliser son rêve de concourir dans la grille. Andretti-Cadillac a récemment construit sa propre installation à Silverstone, comparable en taille au siège de l’équipe Haas F1.
