The beating with capital letters of donald asset has Kamala Harris in the presidential elections USA This is changing the global political landscape, but also, to a large extent, the sporting landscape. And the new American president was one of the actors involved in entering the Formula 1 by Andretti by the hand of General engines. It is about the first 100% North American team in this century’s world championship and the country’s second team with stars and stripes after Haas, although it runs with a Ferrari engine.
A few months after the refusal that Andretti received in early 2024, when F1 rejected his request for access in the 2026 championship, Trump’s re-election changed everything and this Monday, after contesting the Las Vegas Grand Prix This weekend, we learned that its landing was now official after accept F1’s proposal of General Motors to become the eleventh team under the name cadillac.

Andretti’s entry means a clear threat for the teams in the lower zone, as it will be, as expected, that of Fernando Alonso, Aston Martinand that of Carlos Sainz, Williams. The Spanish drivers, by not having a great midfielder to the detriment of what will happen next season, run the risk of suffering with the arrival of this revolutionary team UNITED STATES.

General engines will be involved in this multi-million dollar project creation of an eleventh team for the grid. When F1 rejected Andretti’s entry, it left open the possibility of changing its mind with a view to 2028, provided it could bring Andretti in. cadillac as a motorcyclist.
However, Andretti wants to move everything forward and declares that it already has 300 employees focused on F1 and that the chassis will be ready at the beginning of 2025. It will now be necessary to negotiate with an engine supplierbut its power most likely comes from one of these two classics: Sling either Ferrari. Without going any further, the historic Japanese brand will supply Aston Martin from this season.
What is clear is that they have the support of Trump, a true fan of Great Circus that that same year he was received by the main door of boxes of McLaren in a Miami GP that the driver of the papaya team ended up winning Lando Norris.
