What Andretti has always sought to be is America’s team. The proposed team could not be more American if its livery were the Stars and Stripes, the drivers wore Lincoln-style top hats and the exhaust played the Star-Spangled Banner every time the engine was fired up. GM will provide a great many things to the Andretti team but besides all the benefits of being in bed with a company that posted a sales revenue of $130.50 billion in 2022, the partnership further solidifies what Andretti want this team to be.Īndretti, General Motors, Cadillac, Indianapolis, Detroit. If ever there was a signal of intent, this was it and with the Andretti Cadillac team now going through the official process, a move that appears to be favoured by the FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, it finally seems that Michael Andretti may get his wish. On Thursday, Andretti announced a partnership with the sixth-biggest car company in the world General Motors, answering once and for all any questions of what value the proposed 11th team would bring to Formula 1. Since early murmurings of a move into Formula 1 first arose in late 2019, the Andretti family have faced knock-back after knock-back and yet here they are, with their best chance yet. Whatever you may say about the Andretti family, you can not call them uncommitted. Andretti’s American dream took another step forward with the arrival of GM and Cadillac, is now the time they finally break through the F1 door?.
