FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has advised Michael Andretti to buy an existing Formula 1 team instead of pursuing the creation of an 11th team. This marks a change in stance from Ben Sulayem, who had previously been more open to the idea of Andretti Cadillac joining F1. The teams most likely to be considered for purchase are Alpine and Haas, although their owners, Renault and Gene Haas, are reportedly not interested in selling.
"Ben Sulayem did not say which teams he was referring to, but the obvious candidates for a sale [to Andretti] are Alpine and Haas. However, senior F1 sources say that Alpine owners Renault and US industrialist Gene Haas are not interested in selling." @BBC https://t.co/ClFaHwG0Di
