FIA | Ben Sulayem has maximum confidence in the Andretti team's entry into Formula 1

I'm Sulayem it is certain that in the end common sense will prevail over the team's entry Andretti in formula 1. In the week that brought the Circus to Qatar, the official note from the FIA ​​arrived which effectively gave the green light for the American team's entry into the Circus. A situation which, as happened in previous months, caused a brake on the part of the teams already present in the highest category of motor racing. A situation, as also underlined by the president of the Federation, mainly dictated by an economic aspect.

The FIA ​​accepts Andretti into Formula 1, the ball is now in the court of FOM

“I am 100% confident – ​​declared Ben Sulayem, discussing with journalists present in Qatar – We have asked and addressed all questions and concerns to both Andretti and Cadillac. The responses we received could not make us refuse their entry. All this is good for sport. The rejection of the teams already present in Formula 1? These are economic issues, honestly I can't think of any other valid reason. As far as we're concerned it should be limited to a question of sport, we need to keep it alive while for others it's something related to money."

Ben Sulayem, completing his analysis, then added: “The championship is ours. FOM is doing well. Of course it makes sense for teams to hold back at the beginning, but once you are accepted by one body the others usually follow suit. I hope no unnecessary chaos occurs during the admissions process.”
