p0ppeFIA approves Andretti entry as 11th F1 team from 2025-26
NighedFOM approval will either include the upfront joining fee or the agreement of all the teams, correct?
Or do the teams have a veto regardless?
I read something that suggested the teams can’t actually stop Andretti from competing. But they can stipulate that they receive no TV coverage or something equally as bonkers.
jorgeThe teams have no say (at least formally, in practice they could boycott the races or even threat again to create their breakaway series). FIA only can add them to the entrants list. Everything else is FOM.
TV rights? FOM. Contracts with the circuits? FOM. Contracts with DHL? FOM. Contracts with Pirelli? FOM.
So if FOM said so, Andretti wouldn’t be able to ship their cars, enter the circuits or even have tires.
