Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle believes F1’s decision to reject Andretti’s bid to🌟 become൲ the 11th team will likely result in even more tension with the FIA.

On Wednesday afternoon, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 announced they had rejected Andretti’s bid to join the grid from 2025.

F1 cited concerns tha༺t Andreཧtti wouldn’t be competitive enough nor would they bring enough “value” to the sport.

It wasn’t too surprising given🎐 the majority of F1 teams voiced their disapproval of Andretti, and questioned what they could b𒆙ring to the sport.

Andretti’s failed bid also puts into question F1 - who rejected it - and t꧃he FIA (F1’s governing body) who initially approved the application.

Brundle gave his th🦂oughts on the situati𝓡on when speaking Sky Sports News.

“This does put the FIA, the regulator, head to head with F1 management and Liberty Media - the financial rights holders because the FIA said yes, F1 have ﷽said no to what they often refer to in that document that has just come out as an 11th team rather than Andretti,” Brundle said.

“This is a bigger picture of a head to head now between F1 and the FIA as to who is really running ꧂this show . I think the commercial ♍rights holders have a big sway in that.

“Of course they can squeeze another team into t🎀he pit lane prett♔y much everywhere we go. There’s also some hospitality in the pit lane but teams don’t want to share their money out 11 ways instead of 10 and nor do F1. So as ever, money is a big part of this as well.

“Could we 🃏get 11 teams in there if we really wanted to? Yes of course we 🎐could.”

Brundle conceded that from his personal point of view, he’d have liked to have seen an 11th team given that the top t🃏eams have locked in their marquee drivers for the coming years.

“As an F1 fan, as a commentator, I would love there to be an 11th team, and indeed a 12th team on the grid, not least because drivers like Verstappen, Leclerc, Lando Norris and George Russell at Mer꧑cedes have signed up for a very long time to stay in th🗹e same teams.

“🌄The calendar is fairly mature th⛎ese days going forward. It will be quite exciting to see that.”
