Legendary racer Mario Andretti recently shared his deep disappointment after Formula One Management denied his family and General Motors the opportunity to join the global motorsports series. The rejection came following a six-month review of Andretti's application to expand the current grid to accommodate a two-car American team.
Andretti expressed his offense at F1's claims that the Andretti team would not be competitive, questioning the value the Andretti name would bring to the series, and suggesting challenges that Andretti has not faced before. He emphasized the significant investment his team and GM were willing to make in the series and highlighted the potential value of having 11 teams instead of 10.
