Andretti Global and General Motors join forces, announcing an intent to join F1 under the 'Andretti Cadillac' banner
. As for Andretti Global, even its CEO admits it needs the backing of GM to have enough weight to throw around to entice the FIA to approve entry, and the fact that ‘GM has great resources, and its people are ready – that’s going to help us move quicker.’
‘Cadillac is one of the fastest growing luxury brands right now,’ says GM president, Mark Reuss, ‘and by racing in IMSA, WEC and Formula 1, we’ll have the opportunity to showcase its innovation and technology, going up against the best international luxury brands.’ Actual details about the logistics of the entry are currently thin, given the announcement is merely a statement of intent to join the sport . When the team would actually join, or what power unit would be used are unconfirmed; ‘exactly when is going to depend on the expression of interest and how long that takes, but we are going to be on track as soon as it makes sense to be,’ says Andretti. As for the power unit, Reuss says: ‘we’ve signed an agreement with a power unit supplier to begin with.
As for who will be driving for the Andretti Cadillac team: ‘we definitely want to make this an all-American effort,’ says Andretti, ‘making sure we have an American driver in the seat.’
