Andretti apply further pressure on F1 with new Silverstone factory unveiled

Andretti Global isn’t taking its F1 rejection lying down and has confirmed its next step in preparation for entry into the sport.

Michael Andretti was joined by his illustrious father, 1978 F1 World Champion Mario, to open the facility – which will host the already existing 80-strong UK workforce of Andretti Cadillac. “The new facility will be completed in phases according to commercial and sporting needs and workforce requirements.

“The most significant way in which a new entrant would bring value is by being competitive, in particular by competing for podiums and race wins,” said the statement. With the chassis and power unit regulations also going through revolutionary changes between 2025 and ’26, requiring very different designs on both fronts, F1 also scoffed at the suggestion that Andretti would design and build a car for the final year of the current regulations only to immediately design and build a car for the new regulations almost immediately.

While the regulations do have a clause to force existing power unit manufacturers to supply customers that can’t find a willing partner, F1 has shied away from making that happen by saying it would be “damaging to the prestige and standing” of the sport.
