Andretti Cadillac Formula One Application Rejected

F1 extended an invitation to Andretti Cadillac for a meeting to discuss their application to join the motorsport series, but the email went to the spam folder, unbeknownst to Andretti's team. Andretti Cadillac seeks to clarify points in the sharply critical document released by F1 rejecting their application and expresses eagerness to meet with Formula One Management. F1's rejection was based on doubts about Andretti and General Motors' ability to prepare competitive cars, but Andretti claims they have been targeting 2026 for their launch and has already built a car based on 2024 regulations. The mishap with the invitation has led to uncertainty about whether FOM would have approved Andretti's application had the meeting taken place. The rejection has raised questions about the future of Andretti's involvement with F1.
