Michael Andretti has accused Formula 1 team bosses of being selfish and "greedy" as he faces significant resistance to his plan to launch his own racing outfit.
Andretti Autosport is already a major player in the motorsport world, but is yet to try its hand in the top single-seater racing series. That's not for lack of trying in recent times – after the collapse of the deal to buy Sauber in 2021, he is now focussed upon creating a brand new team.
Last week, the FIA opened the door to the possibility of a new team joining the grid as it launched its 'Expressions of Interest' process. To take advantage of that, Andretti has linked up with automotive giant General Motors for a joint entry with its luxury Cadillac brand.
