Andretti saga outcome expected 'in September'

The saga of whether Andretti-Cadillac will be welcomed to the Formula 1 grid is still the subject of a tug-of-war between the sport's two separate authorities.

Originally, the FIA set a late June deadline for an announcement about whether up to two new teams will be given the green light for 2025 or 2026.

"We pushed the deadline back because some of the teams asked for more time. And we don't want to exclude anyone," FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem told motorsport-total.com.

He admitted that some of the existing teams are "not happy" with the idea of having their value or incomes diluted, but said the FIA must be fair in assessing the potential new entrants.

"We have a contract that says we can have up to 12 teams," he said. . . .
