Andretti’s biggest backers insist the team can ‘field a competitive entry’ despite FOM rejecting their proposal

But now that Andretti-Cadillac’s proposal to enter into F1 has been rejected, the funds that they have put into their dream project are all but wasted. Still, General Motors insist that they are sure Andretti Motorsports will find a way into F1 in the future as their planned car model is quite competent.

We do believe between Andretti and Cadillac that we have got the capability of fielding a competitive entry. Obviously, (Formula One Management) made their statement, and we have asked for a follow up meeting with FOM and so we will work through that. A spokesperson for General Motors claimed, as reported by The Associated Press.

GM Vice President has revealed Andretti-Cadillac is continuing building their car

The entire 2023 season of Formula 1 has been a busy time for Andretti and their partner Cadillac since the two organizations have been immersed in developing the perfect racecar to introduce their new team into the pinnacle of motorsports. However, all those works had presumably stopped when the FOM refused to accept the team’s proposal to enter as the 11th squad of F1.

But now, proving the presumptions wrong, the Vice President of General Motors/Cadillac, Jim Campbell, has revealed their team is continuing with the works of developing an F1-worthy car despite the rejection of their application by the Formula One Management.

Our joint teams are continuing to develop our car at pace. So, that is where we are at.

In other news, there has been a surprising claim from Andretti-Cadillac’s side as the team said they were not aware of a meeting that the FOM wanted to have with them. Apparently, the email stating the details of the meeting had gone into their spam box and thus, the Formula One Management did not get to have a meeting with the team’s stakeholders and this might have finally led to their proposal to enter F1 being rejected.
