But will Formula One Management be so Brazen to Deny
them?
News broke over a Fortnight ago over the FIA
approving Michael Andretti’s submission for “Expressions of Interest” to the
FIA to join the Formula 1 Grid.
As Andretti Cadillac was the only one of four “level
two” applications to meet the FIA’s Due diligence “vetting” process. Enabling
Andretti to now seek commercial approval to become Formula One’s eleventh team
from Formula One Management, (FOM) the Commercial rights Holder of F1.
As we know, F1 President Stefano Dominicali and
eight of the current ten Formula 1 Teams have been exceedingly luke-warm to Michael
Andretti’s effort to become an F1 Constructor.
Principally fearing loss of their income stream
of Guaranteed Moohlah’, along with potentially a smaller prize amount due to
Gasp! Finishing behind Andretti in the vaunted F1 Constructors Championship!
The FIA has now done it’s part in completing it’s
Expressions of Interest reequirements, meaning the Ball’s now squarely in FOM’s
Hands. For which I say once again, what are the current ten Formula 1 Teams so
afraid of?
As surely Mikey A’s presence will be spotted at Austin’s Circuit Of The Americas (COTA) racetrack during this weekend’s USGP…
