Andretti tried to buy every F1 team - and this is how they responded…

And💮retti Autosport, powerhouses in the US motorsports world, have lodged an official application to join F1 by 20🍒26 which the FIA are considering.
The current 10 teams are largely against welcoming an 11th, and Mercedes �🧔�boss Toto Wolff claimed last week that new entrants should “buy a team”.
But Andretti was quoted by : “We’ve ๊tried. Nobody’s interested.
“We’ve been to every single team. They keep saying ‘buy ♏a team’, and nobody wants to sell!
“You go there, and they’re no✱t even interested in talking. I’ve been there𝐆, done that.
“Eveꦡrybody has their own reasons why they’re doing things.🌟
“They are trying to pro🦹tect their own interests. I can’t blame them.
“Everybody’s been looking out for themselves. When I said that I got criticised because I 🅺didn’t🌠 agree with it.

“If I was in🅘 their situation, I’d probably d🌊o the same thing. So I don’t blame the teams.
“They all are going to look at this for themselves, be𒁃cause that’s what they need to do to be competitive.
“It’s a very, v♔ery expensiv🍎e sport. There’s a lot involved, and there’s a lot of commitment from every team.
“They have got to make sure they protect that, 𝓡and I understand that’s what they’re trying to do.
“But in the ﷽end, they’re not going to be the ones that make the decision. It’s going to be up to the series and the FIA to decide if they think it’s the right thing to do.”
Andretti intend 💃to link up with General Motors and Cadillac to bring a massive US influence to F1.
