Andretti Global is planning to enter FIA Formula 2 and Formula 3 in order to create a talent ladder to help feed its Formula 1 team with American drivers.
Andretti has begun a move into a new facility on the Silverstone Park estate as its F1 project continues to progress, and the plan is to also occupy an adjacent larger building. Assuming that the team’s F1 entry eventually gets a green light, it will base F3 and F2 programmes at the new site.
“Here in our team, you're going to be treated fairly, all the way up through the system and plus for us, we'll then be able to really tell the talent, how real it is or not. “Because a lot of times you don't know, some father might be paying for 200 days of testing and things like that to make their kid look good! So here we'll know what we have.” Andretti Global partner Dan Towriss conceded that a commitment to F2 and F3 programmes was pending confirmation of an F1 entry.
