Michael Andretti has made "a statement" by adding the weight of a partnership with General Motors to his bid to join the Formula 1 grid, Toto Wolff has admitted.
The Mercedes chief has been one of the most vocally critical figures in the sport regarding the American's attempt to create a new team. He previously made the point that anyone wanting to take a slice of the F1 pie should bring more to the table than they take.
Perhaps following that advice, Andretti announced last week that they had struck a deal with one of the biggest car companies in the world. General Motors will get involved in the sport through its luxury Cadillac brand, should the Andretti bid be approved.
