Andretti Autosport want to become part of the F1 grid but have faced stiff backlash. The FIA preಌsident Mohammed Ben Sulayem has come under pressure fo♐r his welcoming of them.

However, although the FIA have opened the possibility of an 11th team ꧙joining F1, Red Bull team principal Horner wants to see Andretti follow in the footsteps ofဣ his own team.

“Red 🥂Bull Racing was Jaguar, which was Stewart Ford,🦄” Horner told the Daily Mail. 

“You look at Mercedes, that goes all the way back through Honda to British American Racin♔g to Tyrell. Aston Martin go back to being a Jordan team. 

“That has been the procedure for many📖 years. 

“There's absolutely nothing against Andretti, they're great people and Cadillac is a wonderful brand, but we need to come up with a criter𒁃ia for 2026 that doesn't diminish the value of, particularly, the smaller team🌃s, and deals with the elephant in the room of: who is actually going to pay for it?

“In terms of a new entrant, putting down a down-payment that doesn't devalue the 10th franchise, and at 💦the same time, Liberty and the teams accepting that inevitably compromises need to be made. 

“There is, of course, also the practical elements of: are there enough garages at some of these new venues that we go to, to accommodate an 11th team? It needs to be dealt wit✨h in the right way.

“Andretti is a great team, Mario Andretti is a name synonymous with For🧸mula One… Cadill♋ac, GM, is one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world. So it would be great to see them in the sport, but it's just got to be done properly.”
