“Honestly, has been extremely disappointing, obviously, so far. It’s a very serious project for us, and we’re ready to make that investment. So Michael is on it, and that’s what we expect to do. “We’re preparing as if we were given the go-ahead. “We’re working every single day on this project, with the intention to be on the grid in 2024,” Mario Andretti told PlanetF1 in an exclusive interview. Andretti “aren’t giving up” on F1 aspirations However, despite the prestige of Andretti Autosport in Ind圜ar, Indy Lights, Extreme E, Formula E, and Australian Supercars, Andretti’s F1 efforts have met a brick wall – with Mercedes’ boss Toto Wolff and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali amongst the voices doubting the viability of the project. The new factory is set to cost the company $200m, with a 575,000 square-foot facility set to be constructed in Fishers, Indiana, with a target to be operational by 2025, and bring their teams – including ‘future racing initiatives’ – under one roof in the process. Throughout 2022, Andretti have announced the commencement of building a base of operations for ‘Andretti Global’, which will serve as a focal point for all of Andretti’s racing initiatives. However, the agreement fell apart almost at the finish line – prompting Andretti to seek a way into F1 as a new entry. Mario Andretti has told PlanetF1 the Andretti Global F1 effort is still “full speed ahead”, despite the knockbacks from Formula 1’s leading figures.Īndretti’s efforts to become the 11th Formula 1 team continue unabated, despite the apparent lack of traction amongst the other teams and F1 itself.īack in February, 1978 F1 World Champion Mario Andretti took to Twitter to reveal his son Michael had filed the necessary paperwork with the FIA in order to enter F.Īs outlined previously, the broad response from the other teams has been frosty – only fellow Ind圜ar entrants McLaren have come forward to show support for an Andretti entry.Īndretti’s attempts to enter F1 first became public towards the end of 2021, when the American squad looked set to take over a significant stake in the Sauber team.
