❌ Why F1’s new team isn’t Andretti

F1 has finally accepted an 11th team on the grid but why isn’t the Andretti name anywhere near it?

I'm not going to lie, that seems really petty.

[roberthall]

The name will be there come their first race

In a sport that includes people like Christian Horner and Lance Stroll; Refusing to let Michael Andretti in because he's confrontational or off-putting feels like a pot-kettle situation.

seems like it was a personal issues with Andretti that held it up.

"Cadillac to change to Andretti before 2026 season's first race"

Find it interesting that Red Bull has an internal power struggle and it's not an issue, but Andretti is too much. Guess when you're winning you can overlook certain behavior

[hanswurst]

once they are in, they can than just rename the Team 😂

[stepparentingmadeeasy]

If they allow the name JOS in formula 1 why shouldn’t they allow Andretti?

[perrygreen]

So it's not an Andretti team, but it's ran by Andretti Racing, working out of Andretti racing facilities. Right.

Greg Maffei lost his job in this swap too. They can downplay it but GM demanded his head after they demanded Michael’s.

Rooting for Andretti already, hopefully they'll be a strong team.

I still wouldn’t be surprised if we see Colton herta on the grid

[jamesd]

Damn so F1 really has a personal grudge against andretti. Confirmed

[Mike.W.Dasher]

Corporatism over history and tradition.

[Joel-mnh]

That would be so funny if Michael Andretti is the team principal 😅

[Alex__YT]

Honestly, Cadillac is not a brand I associate with (proper) sports cars at all. To me Andretti has a greater association to motorsport. And yes I know Cadillac does WEC now

[trekuhl]

This may not be an Andretti team in name, make no mistake it is Andretti Global and yes Michael took this all the way to the finish line by stepping away from day to day duties and changing the name to TWG. Michael got this done, PERIOD! Besides F1 is being incredibly petty, plus they’ve acknowledged all the work and accomplishments the team has made to date which was directed by Michael and his team, now led by his primary partner. Plus they’re operating out of Andretti Global facilities.

Andretti gonna find a loop hole like title Sponsor to put the name on team 😂

[manmonkee]

so the sub text is somebody in F1 hates Michael Andretti?

[AlexRadoArtist]

Super petty in my opinion, but also I can really see the desire to have Cadillac as the title. A proper works (eventually) organization, and not a "name" team.
