So that's a No from FOM then.

i think yes, but hopefully theyll be pressured into saying yes

If FOM say no they are in danger of being cartel which is illegal in Europe, though it would be a long process which is what they hopefully cause Andretti to give up

Do you remember when a couple of teams took F1 to the EU courts accusing F1 of being just that.

A quick flash of a cheque book and everything went quietly away.

 

[Dartman]

Maybe GM millions maybe more than a couple of teams on a limited budget.

I was reading alot of stuff. that similar to this

what i was thinking earlier was im brutally honest in which you have to return the favour because the 10 established teams are to Andretti. they are told if you have to add value if you want to join F1. how much value to lets say Haas brought what have they done really in the last 3 years from 1 pole position & team principal who popular because he swears alot. & they couldn't give less value than alfa/sauber/audi. if they weren't on the grid i doubt anyone would notice. i cant think of anything memorable they've done since kubica left

Haas would have had some impact on the American market, regardless of results, and also, Steiner will provide some interesting moments on drive to survive, although I'm sure that was not an influencing factor on their entry.

Andretti may be considered as either further penetration of the US market potentially, or unnecessary based on Haas already being present on the grid, I guess it could be argued either way, depending on who is arguing.

Billionaire businessman doesn’t want anyone else taking his slice of the pie.
Personally I’d rather see another team on the grid, and his son wasn’t in f1.

Stroll: F1 doesn't need Andretti

Aston Martin boss Lawrence Stroll restated his belief that Formula One doesn't need another team to grow after the FIA approved an Andretti-led bid.

but for me Haas are as American as red bull are Austrian. they dont have an American driver & build the cars here in the uk

In the same way that the only German thing about Mercedes is the money which funds the team? Although most of that comes from Malaysia.

Just for you, F1Brits_90, is a quote from the Duke of Wellington who when questioned about defining himself as English because he was born in Dublin replied "If I were born in a stable would it make me a horse?".

Gene Haas, after whom the team is named, is very much an American. It's not a flag of convenience, it is something fundamental to the team and its psyche.

there are some great points & i would agree with duke of wellington point although "If I were born in a stable would it make me a horse"
no but it might make you jesus

because nationality can be many things does depend on birth place, where you spent your childhood or parents nationality. as Bradley Wiggins & Mo Farah are good examples of that unquestionably British despite born in Beligium & Somalia

but the only issue & i could add Mercedes to this. this is probally just me but i feel to be that there needs to be a connection to place the place you call home either building the cars in America or have an American driver or team principal even, if ferrari built there cars in Brackley it would have the same feel
