WASHINGTON — The chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee is launching an investigation into Formula 1 and its U.S. owner, Liberty Media, to demand answers about the sport's decision to deny Andretti Global a spot on the grid. In a letter obtained by NBC News, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, accuses the sport’s chiefs of engaging in “anticompetitive conduct” by rejecting the American racing team’s bid to enter F1 in 2025 or 2026.
He gives them a May 21 deadline to respond. The letter marks an escalating interest in Congress in the actions of F1, which has seen its popularity grow substantially in the United States in recent years. Andretti's decision to partner with the Michigan-based GM to produce its engines adds to the domestic and economic stakes of a storied American team competing in the sport.
