Earlier this week, General Moto𓆏rs announced that they would be entering F1 as a power unit supplier from 2028.

The Ameওrican manufacturer, best known for owning Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac, are only interested in backing Andretti, strengthening their case to become F1’s 11th team.

Despite the news, many F1 team bosses are 🌱against their entry into F1, with Wolff’s opinion remaining unchanged. 

“Well, GM is one of the big playe𒈔rs, no doubt,” Wolff said in Las Vegas. “And I guess if they say they want to join the sport in ‘28, they're serious about it and it's a good commitment. 

“But, you know, we𒊎 need to see whether the Commercial Rights Holder deems this to be a good entry or not. Like James said, for many teams it is big dilution that can make the difference between, you know, big losses or less losses. 

“And I haven't changed my opi๊nion on that. We haven't seen any data, just to say it's going be awesome. Where's the case? What are the numbers? How much can we gain in popularity? What's the name wor𒉰th? How much more can the sport be attractive? What are the facts? 

“And ཧif those facts are positive, I have no doubt that F1 will consi꧒der that in that way.”

Similarly, Williams’ James Vowles - who has been one of the most vo💫cal against Andretti - is concerned about his team’s fin♋ances should an 11th team join.

“I saw thﷺe same news you did,” he added. “I can't really comment much on it. I don't know what the relation🍒ship is between those two entities. 

“My comment was more that GM, I think, is a good company to bring into our sport. That was more what it was around and we have no discussions with them. But I just think theyജ're th🌠e sort of company, the sort of OEM, that will grow our sport as a result of things. 

“But my view hasn't changed on the addition of an 11th te😼am. Fundamentally, it's still around the finances of Williams, which is where my focus is.”
