After nearly two years of trying to return his family to Formula 1, Michael Andretti announced he's partnered with General Motors to power his effort to join the auto racing series.
As recently as last month, Andretti told IndyStar he was still targeting to be on the F1 grid in 2024, even though his team's new massive racing headquarters in Fishers wouldn't be ready until 2025. He said at the time he had plans in place to farm out his team's first car before bringing the program in-house for 2025 and beyond.
Earlier this year, Andretti had been strongly linked with Alpine as an engine partner for Andretti Global's future endeavors -- to the point that Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi had been one of just two F1 team principals willing to put his signature on an informal petition Andretti had been circulating in the Miami Grand Prix paddock, searching for support of his team's hopeful entry into the sport.
Given that the deadline for the new engine regulations for 2026 have come and gone without GM expressing its interest, Andretti and GM president Mark Reuss said Thursday the companies have linked up with another current manufacturer to get the project off the ground if and when it's approved by the FIA.
"We have a signed agreement with a power unit supply to begin with," Reuss said."And then, as we move forward, we'll bring a lot of our expertise to create things in the future as well."
