Andretti’s application was accepted by the FIA - F1’s governing body -🍌 after making it through their thorough process.

F1 still have to give 🐲their seal of approval from a commercial peꦡrspective.

Up until this point, F1 have given no indication about whether ✤they will let Andretti join the grid.

The F1 teams aren’t onboard with Andretti, with many bosses expressing concerns about “dilution” a💃nd what they would bring to the sport in terms of value.

Spea♏king during Sky Sports’ Abu Dhabi Grand Prix coverage on Sunday, Domenicali provided an update on the Andretti bid.

“I would say if we’re talking about drivers that’s one thing, if we’re talkiꦓng about teams that’s another thing,” he said. 

“So, I would say I have nothing to hide on thaꦇt. It’s a process on the commercial side that I respect and when we are ready we will give ✃the answer.

“We don’t feel any pressওure on that but we need to do t♍he right job, that’s our duty.

“And with regard to the drivers it’s great to see that there are a lot of rookies that now the F1 teams have these academy proje🍌cts.

“We have the F1 Academy that will develop female drivers and this is the beauty that we have great drivers today, they are aspirational, and we’re attracting more youn🌟g talent to the sport.

“So, this is not a problem for the future.”
