Michael Andretti's bid to launch a new Formula 1 team could be in danger after it emerged that a "strong majority" of the sport's current members would be against a new entrant.
The FIA opened the door to a potential new team last week when president Mohammed ben Sulayem announced a new 'Expressions of Interest' process. Anyone who wants to join the sport now has an official application route through the governing body.
Days later, Andretti announced its new partnership with Cadillac, owned by the General Motors Company [GMC], as part of its plan to enter F1. And the Americans are far from the only ones interested in joining the grid, with several other projects also in the works.
