Andretti is going to be on the gird for 2026 (Kind of)
I know F1 rejected Andretti earlier because most of the teams had a bitch fit over their inclusion after the FIA approved them. Things have changed, and Andretti, Cadillac GM, or whatever they will be called will be on the gird in 2026. What changed? Leadership on both sides, Liberty Media had a new leader and Cadillac GM kicked Michael Andretti to a consulting role or something. Also, Cadillac will have Ferrari engines until 2028 when GM engines are ready for that season. Also, in 2026 Ford teams up with Red Bull hopefully though Red Bull kicked Jak Crawford to the crib? It probably would have been better if they kept him but what do I know? Speaking of Crawford, I believe he has a good shot at getting one of the seats for 2026 at GM. I doubt he'll stay at Aston Martin unless Fernando Alonso retires or Lance Stroll is forced out. Now who would get the second seat, I like to see Logan Sargeant get that seat though it is probably unlikely unless GM is okay with a lot of crashes. The only American drivers in the Junior Formula circuit as of now are Max Esterson but he'll need to have a super season in Formula 2 next year to be considered and there's Ugo Ugochukwu who will compete in Formula Three next year however best case scenario, he'll get his super license in 2027 and if he does will he stay at McLaren where he's a junior driver and/or McLaren keep him and put in him one of their seats if Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri leaves. I'm sure some Indycar guys could be considered. I know it's all Americans but could Cadillac consider a non-American? Will Trump bitch and whine if they do? I know Danny Ric isn't interested so maybe Vatteti Bottas? He's the best option, he's a 10-time race winner and he would the team experience especially if they do pair him up with a Jax Crawford. I know it's too soon to said but then again the 2025 season will start in three months. Yeah, not much of a off-season for the teams and the Drivers. I wonder if Cadillac could get Carlos Sainz to join them though will Cadillac be a better team than Williams in 2026? We won't know until 2026.
