Formula 1 needs more teams and fewer races, according to Mohamed Bin Sulayem, president of the International Automobile Federation (FIA), who believes the new team bearing Michael Andretti’s name will benefit the series both internally and professionally.
61-year-old sporting director Katari Nagedjon has expressed hope that General Motors-owned Andretti Global will soon be on the grid with a Cadillac, despite the fact that the track’s current team is against it. The FIA reported last week that it had accepted the new team’s application and had referred it to Formula One Management (FOM), which is owned by Liberty Media and holds the commercial rights to Formula 1, for further consultation.
“I am always optimistic, I believe they will succeed,” said Bin Sulayem. “It is very difficult to say no to a team whose application has already been accepted by the FIA.”
If you ask me what my dream is, I can tell you that it consists of 12 teams, one of which comes from the United States, a team that supports local cars and one local competitor. Then go to Kn and ask like that and do it.” – The President of the International Automobile Federation stated.
Most of the current members of the “recipient” are against leaving, because then they will receive less money, but at the same time, they cannot participate in making the final decision. In the days of Stefano Domenicali, F1’s CEO, he diplomatically stated that from a commercial point of view, all Bvts attempts should be appropriate.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff decided that anyone who wanted to join a Formula 1 team had to buy an active team. However, this is an expensive solution, and at the same time, the well-connected team must pay $200 million into the common fund, and this amount is divided between the teams of the current field.
“You can’t force Andretti Global or General Motors to buy an F1 car just because the current owners want to sell it. I won’t mention names, but I was asked to convince GM. That’s not my job, I was like that.” “I was not elected for this reason and I am not a brake,” Bin Sulayem said, stressing that according to the rules, there can be 12 teams at the start of Formula 1.
Some people say the ring will be a mess. truly? We still have the Hollywood team with us everywhere.” – said the FIA president, referring to the American F1 film starring Brad Pitt, some of which was recorded at Magyar Nagydjon in July.
Bin Sulayem said, “I think the number of races is the number, not the 12 teams. We need a greater number of participants and fewer competitions.”
The next Formula 1 season is scheduled to take place in 24 weeks. This season, 23 races were planned, but due to riots in the Emilia-Romagna region, the team did not travel to Imole, and the World Cup ended with 22 races. Two years ago, there were 19 rounds in the World Series.
The owner of the American company Andretti Global is former McLaren Formula 1 pilot and 1991 kart champion Michael Andretti, who is the son of 1978 Formula 1 world champion Mario Andretti. They announced in January that they would appear at the Szul Circus in a Cadillac, and that they would hire at least one American pilot. The team will be based in the United States, but a full unit will also be set up in Great Britain.
There are currently three Formula 1 races in the United States, and two in America, along with the Canadian and Mexican Grands Prix.
