U.S. Senators have asked for a DOJ and FTC investigation into F1's rejection of the Andretti-Cadillac bid.
U.S. Senators have stepped in following Formula 1's decision to reject Andretti-Cadillac's bid to join the grid in 2025 or 2026. Bringing the matter to a higher level, the Senators have called for an investigation by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission .
A letter from the Senators to the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission states, as quoted by NBC News:'It is possible that such a refusal to deal—especially if orchestrated through a group boycott—could violate U.S. antitrust laws.'Last year, F1 hosted three races in America, in Miami, Las Vegas, and Austin, while no other country hosted more than a single race.
