In a surprising turn of events, Formula One's invitation to Andretti Cadillac for an in-person meeting regarding their application to join the prestigious motorsports series was discovered in the team's spam folder. The email, which was sent by a staff member of Formula One Management (FOM) and not the CEO, Stefano Domenicali, had gone unnoticed, leading to the team's failure to respond.
The revelation came as Andretti Global attempted to address two crucial points mentioned in the strongly worded rejection document issued by Formula One earlier this week. FOM stated that they had reached out to the Andretti camp on December 12th, offering an invitation for an in-person meeting at their offices to discuss the team's application. However, Andretti was unaware of this offer until their IT team conducted a search within the email system.
