F1 rejects Andretti bid to bring new US-based team to grid by 2026 (theguardian.com) 5 points by PaulHoule 2y ago ↗ HN
[–] ehvatum 2y ago ↗ F1’s reasoning is “Andretti won’t be competitive and Andretti’s reputation will benefit more than ours if he has an F1 team”Yeah, just like being a perennial loser did so much good for the Williams legend, right?Or similar to how winning nothing in F1 for years really buoyed Ferrari’s brand, I suppose?I would like to know the actual reason for the rejection, given that the stated reasons are transparently false.
