ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Michael Andretti said Friday that his father revealed his Formula One aspirations last week to show the FIA there is strong public support for an expansion team -- and he would need a decision from motorsports' governing body in the next month to be properly prepared for a 2024 debut.
Mario Andretti a week ago surprisingly took to Twitter to outline his son's plans, writing that Andretti Global had applied to the FIA for a new team in time for the 2024 season and was awaiting a decision. The move drew immediate attention not just around F1 but in IndyCar.
