The 21-year-old has seven wins in 65 Ind圜ar Series starts. If Andretti gets an F1 team, it's reasonable to believe that Herta will be a strong candidate to move to F1 from Ind圜ar. Alexander Rossi and Colton Herta each won just one race in 2022 and Rossi was the highest-finishing Andretti driver in the standings in eighth. But Andretti Autosport has struggled recently. The team currently is most prominent in the Ind圜ar Series, where it has a four-car stable. Mario Andretti is a former F1 champion and Michael also competed in 13 F1 races in 1993. I have asked my team to look at launching an Expressions of Interest process for prospective new teams for the FIA World Championship There are currently 10 teams making up 20 spots on the F1 grid and the FIA recently signaled an openness to adding more teams to the premier series. Audi and Porsche are entering F1 in 2026.Īndretti Autosport’s interest in Formula 1 has been no secret in recent years and could become easier given F1’s attitude toward new teams. If the bid is successful, Formula 1 could have three new manufacturers in the series in the next few seasons. WTR had previously fielded Cadillacs in IMSA but now fields Acuras. The move to partner with Cadillac for its F1 bid comes after Andretti recently announced a partnership with Wayne Taylor Racing in IMSA. We now have the opportunity to combine our motorsport passions and dedication to innovation to build a true American F1 bid.” GM and Andretti share a legacy born out of the love of racing.

I’m proud to have GM and Cadillac alongside us as we pursue this goal.

'I feel that we are well suited to be a new team for Formula 1 and can bring value to the series and our partners, and excitement for the fans. “We are continuing to grow Andretti Global and its family of racing teams and always have our eyes on what’s next,' Michael Andretti said in a statement.
