Things are looking bad for Michael Andretti and Co. as for engines for 2025. And for 2026? The solution: whoever has the fewest engines in use must provide a new team.

The provisional contract with Alpine expired in March. And the French do not want renegotiations. Sports director Bruno Famin: “We are waiting to see what the FOM decides!” And the GP management – unlike the license distributor FIA – is still against Andretti’s entry.

Renault or Honda?

What now? Things look bad for engines for 2025. And for 2026, when regulations and the Concorde Agreement (F1 law) change? The FIA ​​​​knows the solution: whoever has the fewest engines in use must supply a new team.

From 2025 it would still be Renault, but in 2026 it would be Renault and Honda, which would then switch to Aston Martin and leave the Red Bull teams. The FOM: “This only applies to existing teams and not to newcomers.”

FOM versus FIA: Who will win?

The new feud between the FOM and the FIA ​​​​has broken out. We had the old ‘war’ in 1980/81 between Bernie Ecclestone and Jean-Marie Balestre. The world association with President Mohammed Ben Sulayem (61), who has never been loved since the beginning of 2021: “In case of emergency, fate decides who should supply Andretti!”

The Americans, with General Motors and Cadillac behind them, will no longer give in. Even though the registration fee will be around half a billion dollars from 2026 (currently 200 million).

209 points behind

It is chaos at Red Bull for Austin on Sunday and a week later in Mexico. People are more than dissatisfied with the Mexican Sergio Pérez (33). But how do you get rid of second place in the World Cup (209 points behind Verstappen!) despite the contract for 2024?

The alternative would come from our own company. Tsunoda and eight-time GP winner Ricciardo are now driving again for Alpha Tauri (the name will change in 2024). Liam Lawson (22), who convinced in five races, remains the reserve driver. So you could give the New Zealanders a chance alongside Verstappen – or bring Ricciardo back into the A-team.
