Viele Hürden für Andretti: Mit Motorenpartner, aber ohne Motor
www.auto-motor-und-sport.de
Andretti hat mit der FIA-Lizenz die erste Hürde auf dem Weg in die Formel 1 übersprungen. Neben grünem Licht von der Formel 1 braucht Andretti für den Einstieg einen existierenden Motor. Doch der Vertrag mit Renault ist erloschen.

To get the ball rolling, Andretti had already signed a preliminary contract with Renault years ago. But that expired in March 2023. And at the moment, the French are showing no great desire to resume negotiations on a continuation. Renault, alias Alpine, does not want to get caught in the crossfire of a power struggle between the FIA and FOM.

    I suppose the lack of interest from Renault to renew the contract indicates they wouldn’t be required to supply Andretti.

    “Renault, alias Alpine, does not want to get caught in the crossfire of a power struggle between the FIA and FOM.”

    They’ll renew the deal once it’s clear if Andretti enters or not. They want a customer. Having two fewer cars hurt their reliability.
