Formula One expected to expand grid to 11 teams as early as next week for Cadillac to enter in 2026
Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, of Monaco, drives the course during qualifying for the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Friday. Formula One is expected to approve grid expansion for an 11th team originally started by Michael Andretti as early as next week, the Associated Press has learned. Michael Andretti ran 13 F1 races in an abbreviated 1993 season and many believe F1’s snub of his application was over lingering resentment toward the former driver. The FIA said at the time that Michael Andretti’s application was the only one of seven applicants to meet all required criteria to expand F1’s current grid. In fact, F1’s initial denial of the Andretti application read extremely personal in that F1 informed the Andretti family it did not believe it could field a competitive team; the Andretti name does not bring the value to the series that Michael Andretti believes it would; and that getting on the grid in the next two years would be a challenge Andretti has never before faced.
