Former Formula 1 star Mario Andretti took aim at Toto Wolff for the Mercedes chief's opposition to his son's bid to create an 11th team.
The 1978 champion first confirmed that his son Michael had applied to the FIA to create a new team, with a projected entry date in 2024. It came after his aborted plan to strike a deal with the existing Sauber team, which came close but ultimately failed in the second half of last year.
"I've been hearing [Michael] talking about this in the last five years at least," Andretti Sr told MotorLAT. "It's part of his ambition as a car owner. He expanded his operations, even as far as Australia – motor racing is his business. He lives and breathes this sport like we always did.
