Go against everyone, or almost. The American family pursues the dream of Formula 1 and defends itself from those who want to break it: the paddock is practically complete, except Alpine and Zak Brown. It is precisely Michael Andretti who makes the list of friends and enemies, stating that the French team is the only one willing to help him in the enterprise of becoming the 11th contender, while the Californian is mentioned alone and not as CEO of McLaren, a sign that Woking is at least torn between yes and no.
Of the others, not even to talk about it. Andretti called them “greedy“, short-sighted and attentive only to their own backyard. In the US they call it bigger picturean overview that the son of Big Foot he acknowledges only to FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem – another ally of his – and to a few others: “Zak wants to do everything he can to help us achieve the goal and the same goes for Alpine. They are two excellent allies. Zak has supported us a lot, he gives me advice and we help each other. I helped him get into IndyCar and he’s doing the same. As far as Formula 1 is concerned, I can say that Stefano Domenicali was very happy when the Cadillac name emerged. It will also be a huge thing for Formula 1 to bring Cadillac and General Motors, given the growth in the United States“, these are the words of Andretti a Forbes.
Who says that Cadillacs it’s just patina, and that won’t really make the engines, Andretti recommends waiting: “If we participate in 2025, there won’t be a new engine yet (which would most likely be done by Alpine/Renault, nda), but in 2026, there are various things we can do with another engine maker. It would not be a registered power unit, because there would be Cadillac’s intellectual property on that engine“.
