In IndyCar, Andretti Autosport and Arrow McLaren are rivals, but Michael Andretti and Zach Brown have common business interests: they co-own the Walkinshaw Andretti United team, which competes in the Australian Supercars Championship touring car series. It is therefore not surprising that Brown supports his compatriot and partner’s desire to have the opportunity to enter Formula 1 with his new team. But according to McLaren Racing’s executive director, he was outnumbered here.
Other World Cup participants are skeptical about the appearance of the Andretti Cadillac team in Formula 1, despite the fact that General Motors Corporation has become its partner, which guarantees stable financing. An application has already been sent to the FIA on behalf of this project and now we are waiting for the federation’s response.
“I think it is already known that three or four teams have submitted their application. Personally, I would like the starting field to be expanded, taking into account the existing conditions and requirements, – said Zak Brown in an interview with the Associated Press. “I support Michael Andretti and his Cadillac project because I think he will be good for our sport. But I’m probably in the minority on that.
However, championship teams have no influence on the further development of events. I don’t think everyone fully understands how Formula 1 is organized. Ultimately, the teams have no say on this particular issue.”
