The Andretti / Caddy setup is looking stronger & better isn’t it? Absolutely huge step to move from being a race team to being a constructor but I expect that they understand the difficulties & have planned for them.

Whilst the process of having the entry accepted is certainly convoluted, it’s not a bad thing to have that process, to ensure as much as possible that new entrants are “real” & properly set up. I just hope that the FIA & F1 (Liberty & teams) are consistent in their approach & work together on the process - would be a great shame if a tug of war erupts & new entrants get caught in the middle.

Hopefully in the Andretti / Caddy case, they’ll know sometime this year what is happening with their application. Interesting suggestions that there may be other parties wishing to jump in - could be heading back to mid-20 size grids even?
