Andretti F1 Bid Gains Momentum with New Silverstone Facility

Andretti Global has taken an important step towards its dream of entering Formula 1 with the opening of a new factory at Silverstone. The move marks a significant step forward in its project to build a competitive F1 team and marks an exciting time for the world of motorsport.

The American company received approval from the FIA last year to enter the series, but faced a setback when its request to join in 2025 or 2026 was rejected by Formula One Management (FOM) in January. However, Andretti did not give up his goal and continued his search for an entry in F1.

With the opening of the new facility at Silverstone, Andretti Global demonstrates its commitment and determination to achieve this ambitious goal. The impressive 48,000 square foot facility will serve as the team’s operational center and is equipped to house a team of approximately 80 people dedicated to the project.

Team owner Michael Andretti expressed his enthusiasm with the progress made so far and emphasized the importance of the new facility for the team’s future plans. He stressed that although Andretti aspires to be an all-American team, with the car assembled in the USA, having a European base at Silverstone is essential to attract Formula 1’s top talent and ensure access to the latest facilities.

Furthermore, Andretti stressed the importance of integration between all the team’s bases, both in the United States and at Silverstone. He emphasized that the cooperation between these facilities is already underway and appreciated the vast experience and technical know-how present at the new Silverstone base.

Despite the challenges facing Andretti in its bid to enter Formula 1, the project continues to gain momentum with the opening of this new factory. With a dedicated team working on the car’s development, Andretti is confident it will be able to compete at the highest level of F1 in the near future.

Although there are still obstacles to overcome, such as the need to convince General Motors to build its own power unit, Andretti is determined to achieve his goal of entering Formula 1. With his new facility at Silverstone , the team is better positioned than ever to turn your dream into reality. The motorsport world is eagerly waiting to see what the future holds for Andretti in Formula 1.
