A bipartisan group of six U.S. senators is urging the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate Formula 1's management over its decision to reject Andretti Global's bid to join the racing grid in 2025 or 2026. The senators argue that the exclusion of Andretti Global, which includes the Andretti-Cadillac team, may constitute a violation of American antitrust laws. This move comes amid concerns that European companies are attempting to block American competition in the sport. The senators emphasize that Formula 1 profits significantly from American viewership, fans, and venues, and therefore, an American team should be given a fair opportunity to compete in the 2026 championship race.

Senators ask for Formula 1 investigation over Andretti Global rejection https://t.co/lBNJzT8Ith
Formula 1 profits off of American viewership, fans, & venues––yet won't let an American team, driving an American car, compete at their events. My colleagues & I sent a letter to @TheJusticeDept & @FTC urging them to investigate the exclusion of Team Andretti Cadillac from F1. https://t.co/EIKR8pd9NQ
Andretti-Cadillac's qualified F1 racing team is being locked out of the 2026 championship race. Why? It looks a lot like European companies are trying to illegally block American competition on the racetrack and in the car market. That is why we are calling for an investigation. https://t.co/XhanDwgcys

I’m glad the @FTC is heeding my call to protect consumers from the automakers’ invasive and misleading data practices. The agency must take all necessary steps to hold the companies accountable for any unfair or deceptive practices. https://t.co/CGqqd3oogg
