Andretti Autosport Soon To Be Called As Andretti Global In 2024, Nod For F1?

2 years ago By Sports Desk

In a recent announcement, Andretti Autosport revealed its transformation into Andretti Global, set to take effect from the 2024 racing season. This significant shift comes after a soft launch of the new name for its Formula 1 aspirations over a year ago.

A New Identity for Andretti

The rebranding not only involves a change in name but also a transition from the traditional Andretti Autosport shield to a sleek new “A” logo, which retains the team’s iconic red, blue, and white color scheme. This transformation will extend across all eight of Andretti’s motorsports divisions, spanning IndyCar, Indy NXT, IMSA, Formula E, Extreme E, Supercars Super Copa, and Skip Barber.

Formula E Leads the Way

Andretti Global’s Formula E team, fresh off a drivers’ championship win with Jake Dennis, will be the first to showcase the new look during the season-opening race in Mexico City in mid-January.

Michael Andretti’s Vision

Michael Andretti, the team’s co-owner, chairman, and CEO, expressed his pride in the accomplishments of Andretti Autosport over the years and the anticipation of what lies ahead. While he stated, “As we continue to expand and build a global racing institution, our goal is to be ingrained in the culture of our fans, teams, and partners. We are determined to achieve success and confident that there are big things in store for Andretti Global.”

Formula 1 Dreams

While this rebranding signifies a significant change for the team, it also raises intriguing questions about their potential entry into Formula 1, a dream that has been pursued relentlessly by the Andretti family.

Challenges on the F1 Horizon

Andretti Global’s aspirations to join the exclusive world of Formula 1 have been met with challenges, primarily from existing teams concerned about sharing the financial rewards among more participants. However, recent developments within the FIA suggest that the road to becoming the 11th Formula 1 team is becoming more attainable.

A Different Proposition

In the eyes of many, Andretti Global is a different proposition altogether. With a rich motorsport legacy that extends beyond the achievements of Mario and Michael Andretti on the track, their vast racing programs over the years underscore the value they could bring to the growing American motorsport scene.

A Facility Beyond Maranello

Andretti Global’s unwavering commitment to the Formula 1 project is evident in their construction of a state-of-the-art facility, which will surpass the size of Ferrari’s renowned headquarters in Maranello. This impressive undertaking demonstrates their dedication to making their mark in the world of Formula 1.

Targeting 2024

While their target date for entry into Formula 1 is 2024, providing a narrow window to prepare for the 2026 rules package, coinciding with Audi’s expected takeover of Sauber. As preparations intensify, Andretti Global is pushing hard to secure its place on the grid, with discussions ongoing with the FIA to bring this dream to fruition.

A Determined Journey

While Formula 1’s exclusive nature has posed challenges for new entrants, Andretti Global’s pedigree and determination may soon see them break through and make their mark in the pinnacle of motorsport.

While we await further developments, the motorsport community watches closely to see if Andretti Global can transition from a successful American racing institution to a formidable force on the Formula 1 grid in the near future.
