The Spaniard raced for Andretti’s team in IndyCar in 2017 and when asked by Soymotor if he would be interested in signing Fernando Alonso to his F1 team, Andretti was more than willing.
Admitting that Alonso is still in his prime, the former world champion left the door open for a future Fernando Alonso partnership. He said:
When it comes to drivers, Andretti has already kept one season reserved for American IndyCar driver Colton Herta. Herta has been associated with Andretti for a long time now and hasn’t had the best of luck in terms of getting a super license and a subsequent entry in F1.
Speaking about the prospect of entering the sport, Mario did reveal that one seat would be for an American driver. He said:
Andretti hopeful of getting on the F1 grid soon
With a newly formed partnership with Cadillac, Andretti is hoping that once the expression of interest goes through, the American team could find itself on the grid. In the team’s press release, Andretti said:
An American team is already on the grid in the form of Haas, but Gene Haas’ reluctance to pump money into the project has proven to be quite a deterrent to the team’s growth. In the case of Andretti Global, the situation is completely different as the team enters the sport with the ambition of winning the F1 title.
