Nine F1 te✅ams, other than Alpine, are largely against the entries of extra cars on the grid.

The 🐽FIA must assess the four applicants and examine whether they are financially and technically capable of adding to F1.

Andretti Autosport and Hitech Grand Prix are likely to get “the green light” when the reviews process conꦆcludes at the end of💟 July, the same report claims.
