Michael Andretti Applies To Field F-1 Team

2024 Season: Race 1 - April 20th Brownstown (Crate LM). Unlike many I don't discriminate on what racing I choose to watch.

He can't beat Roger or Chip on a consistent basis and is still bitter of his run over there (which I will say, cuz of his effort, I became an f1 fan)? They really think this is the best coarse of action to get Colton world famous? I do really hope it works out for them...hasn't so much for Haas tho...f-1 is way more popular than Indycar (sadly) so it may be the time to jump in...lets hope all these American races and efforts work out and interest in all types of open wheel (altho rear-engine in these cases...) rise!

I hope it works out. Far bigger mountain to climb than any of us imagine. I'm sure Michael knows that and is smart enough to pull it off. Maybe see a couple of Americans in F1 soon!

Wonder if they’ll base somewhere in Europe or here?

Like 200m "entry" fee...I say the odds are better to field 10 cars in the 500...

If I understand the news story. He is looking to sell 200 million in "stock" for the entry fee. After he pays 200 million, he has 2 years to fund, build a team. So he needs about 1/2 to 2/3 a billion dollars for a 2 team F1 team. good luck mike

if that's true, then I'm already happy about it.

In my opinion, Formula 1 is become from year to year more interesting to watch.
