Andretti doesn’t want a gang of ten

Many roads lead to Rome. But very few in Formula 1. Since the arrival of the American newcomer Gene Haas in 2016, who settled in Europe in the old factory buildings of Marussia, the GP circus has been a conspiratorial company.

When it comes to money, nothing fits. And the gang of ten wants to continue to perform their worldwide show only in the circus ring and divide the billion pie among themselves. New artists are not welcome.

No chance at Sauber and Alpha Tauri

The Andretti clan in Pennsylvania has had to find out for over three years. Despite a lot of experience in other series, despite a lot of money and manufacturers like General Motors – the door to Formula 1 remains closed. Even if the world federation FIA puts pressure on the circus.

The only way to happiness is to buy an already active team. The attempt at Sauber failed miserably two years ago. At Alpha Tauri, other interested parties (Team Hightech from Formula 2 and Formula 3) would first be considered if Alpha Tauri were actually dropped by Red Bull. But it doesn’t look like it.

Entrance fee significantly increased

And so that nothing can happen, the registration fee for a new team will be increased from 200 to more than 500 million dollars.

Oh how easier and cheaper it used to be. In 1992, an Italian shoe and fashion salesman (Sassetti by Andrea Moda) wanted to run Formula 1. He bought old parts from the insolvent Coloni team. You signed up with the world federation, competed in 10 of the 16 races in pre-qualifying, but only made it into the field with Moreno in Monaco.

After debts, fights between team members and the arrest of the boss, one of the worst chapters of Formula 1 came to an end.
