Mario Andretti feels his son has nothing to apologise for despite being criticised by the top Formula 1 chief over his attack on the sport's team bosses.
Michael Andretti is one of the front-runners to launch a brand new team to join the grid. Andretti Autosport has teamed up with General Motors through its Cadillac brand to submit its plans through the FIA Expressions of Interest process.
If successful, they could join the grid by as soon as 2025. But there has been significant resistance from the existing teams to their potential entry, with only mooted engine supplier Alpine and McLaren – run by Andretti's friend Zak Brown – giving their support.
