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 strong rejection from Formula 1 when trying to join as the 11th team. Despite their efforts, Formula 1 remains firm in their 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’s official rejection of 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 way 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 rival teams’ reluctance 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 will be sold for less than $1.5 billion. This poses a potential obstacle for Andretti-Cadillac in their quest to acquire an existing team.
Además, el detentor de los derechos comerciales de la Fórmula 1, [nombre], actualmente tiene una sólida lista de diez equipos con perspectivas prometedoras. Como resultado, será un desafío convencer a las autoridades de considerar la adición de otro equipo a la parrilla. Sin embargo, si Liberty Media considera la idea de expandirse a un 11º y 12º equipo, impondrían criterios estrictos.
Por lo tanto, Andretti-Cadillac debe evaluar cuidadosamente sus opciones y reconsiderar sus posibilidades de unirse a la Fórmula 1 o explorar la posibilidad de comprar otro equipo. A pesar de los desafíos, el constructor estadounidense sigue firme en su sueño de competir en la parrilla. Andretti-Cadillac recientemente construyó su propia instalación en Silverstone, que es comparable en tamaño a la sede del equipo Haas F1.
