Andretti Global continues to prepare for a Formula 1 team, despite facing rejection earlier this year. The team was initially approved by the FIA to enter in 2025 or 2026, but the commercial rights holder of F1 (FOM) rejected their proposal, casting doubts on their competitiveness in the sport. Andretti strongly disagreed with F1’s decision and refuted claims that they were targeting an entry in 2025 and avoiding meetings with F1 management. Despite the setback, Andretti has now opened a new facility in Silverstone, UK, as part of their ongoing preparations to enter the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. The facility, spanning 48,000 square feet, will house manufacturing and research and development facilities and will collaborate with Andretti’s locations in Indiana and Banbury. The project also has the support of General Motors’ technology center in North Carolina. Nick Chester, former technical director of Formula 1 teams Lotus and Renault, is leading the development of the Andretti-Cadillac F1 project. Andretti owner Michael Andretti has expressed his determination to prove their worth and emphasized the importance of General Motors’ involvement in the team. Although FOM hinted at possible interest once General Motors delivers their planned engine project in 2028, Andretti is pushing for an entry in 2026 with a Renault engine. The team believes that their unique approach, which includes a fully American car built in the US with American owners, engine, and driver, will have a significant impact on Formula 1, especially in the untapped American market. Andretti aims to recruit the best talent from England, considered a hub of expertise in Formula 1. The team’s decision to establish a new facility in Silverstone demonstrates their commitment to expanding and attracting new talent. Despite F1’s rejection, Andretti remains steadfast in pursuing their goal and is willing to invest millions of pounds to make it a reality. They see their facilities and personnel as a clear demonstration of their determination. While it is unlikely to change F1’s stance on an entry in 2026, Andretti is determined to seize the next available opportunity, even if it means waiting until 2028 with a General Motors engine. Andretti’s public approach reflects their commitment to showcasing what F1 is missing out on and their willingness to continue their efforts as long as they have the necessary resources.
