The Cadillac-backed Andretti team had hoped for a place in Formula 1 in 2025 or 2026. Now they must not participate at all. And it could be due to an unfortunate email.
The international motorsport organization FIA has actually said yes. But Formula 1 wants nothing to do with Andretti-Cadillac.
Neither in 2025 nor 2026. And it could all be because a very important email ended up in the spam filter.
In any case, Andretti now says that the team did not respond to an important email from the Formula 1 organization because the email had ended up in a spam filter.
This is written by the news agency AP .

The email, which concerns Andretti-Cadillac's application in particular, was a fashion invitation. But because it was sent from an ordinary employee and not from Formula 1's managing director Stefano Domenicali, as Andretti had expected, the email ended up as spam.
And so the Andretti people didn't react quickly enough to it. Explain that to the potential Formula 1 team. Because all hope is not extinguished yet. There is a possibility that Andretti could join the sport in 2028.
But Cadillac has already said it will withdraw if one particular condition is not met. Read more about it here .
