Despite the uncertainty of their F1 entry, Andretti Autosport is expanding and preparing diligently for a future in the world's premier motorsport series.

Andretti might not have a place in F1 yet, but that hasn't stopped the company from kicking off a major recruitment

Mario Andretti says he was deeply offended by the language Formula One Management used in denying his family and General Motors the opportunity to join the global motorsports series.

Mario Andretti recently expressed his discontent over Formula One Management's decision to reject the Andretti Global bid to join the F1 grid in 2026. Despite fulfilling initial criteria set by the FIA, their application was turned down, leaving the racing legend feeling slighted.

F1 cited concerns about Andretti's competitiveness and the value it would bring to the series. However, they left the door open for admission from 2028 as F1 stated it would 'look differently' on an application including a full engine supply deal from General Motors, who are slated to become a power unit manufacturer from that year onwards.
