F1 | Ben Sulayem responds to Horner on the Andretti case: "I can't block a manufacturer who wants to enter Formula 1"

The president of the FIA Mohammed Ben Sulayem he is fighting on multiple fronts this winter, not a break for him, but very eventful, perhaps more than expected. Leaving aside the issue of offers received Liberty Medium for the sale of Formula 1 rights, the head of the International Federation must also address the issue Andretti. The great name of American motorsport has officially expressed interest in entering the Circus together with General Motors, but the current teams, with the exception of Alpine and McLaren, are raising a barrier in this regard, mostly for a question of money, as admitted a few days ago by Christian horner, team principal of Red Bull. The FIA ​​president didn't wait too long to respond to the English manager.

“He is saying he would lose his piece of the pie – Ben Sulayem told Autosport. I cannot block a manufacturer who wants to try to enter Formula 1 by meeting all the requirements to do so, it would be totally wrong. Also because at the moment there are no other contenders, in the sense that only Andretti has officially expressed interest in being part of the Circus in the future. So I can confirm that so far he and General Motors are the only candidates."
