Ferraris already have a habit of spontaneous combustion so he will fit right in.Elon Musk, next Ferrari team manager.
This is a separate announcement, doesn't specifically mention RBR, yet.Jumping the gun a bit, the RBR Ford isn't supposed to be for another 28 mins![]()

I think that in itself, just operationally…where do we put the motorhomes? Where do we put the support? Where do the trucks go? I just think it would be an incredibly difficult thing to be accommodated with the way that the sport has currently evolved as well.
Pretty sure one of the stipulations for a track getting an FIA Grade 1 rating, and with it the ability to host an F1 race, is that there needs to be room for at least 26 cars and their respective teams. It wasn't that long ago that there were 12 teams on the grid, either.The latest reason to block Andretti... parking.

Like money, there are logistical barriers to new F1 teams like Andretti - Horner, Wolff | RACER
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says the likes of Andretti wanting to join Formula 1 face a tough task because there are logistical issues as well as financial ones.Andretti has been publicly targeting a spot on the F1 grid for more than a year, partnering with Cadillac to form...racer.com
Guessing Andretti stating that if they did get an F1 entry they would also start a feeder series team(s) kind of threw them a curveball so they had to come up with something. It will be interesting to see what the next excuse is, my money is on "The printer back at the office got jammed while printing the entry forms and the repairman can't get out until next week".
Seems like a FIA-FOM war might be brewing?
At this point I'm pulling for the FIA to tell the teams and FOM to get bent.
I personally think it really showcases the sorry state of affairs if I'm sitting here siding with the FIA on something F1-related over the teams.Backing the FIA seems instinctively incorrect but the F1 teams are so in the wrong on this.

I think it's only been 7 or 8 seasons since we last had more than 10 teams on the grid. Surely circuit infrastructure hasn't changed much since then?If the new teams aren't quite up to snuff, it's hard to force them out solely with the 107% rule, as there's different qualifying standards throughout the session. Sure, it's a tight fit at Monaco but Grade 1 facilities will have the room because they can hold much larger support grids. Though I suppose F4 teams don't have six transporters to create their own media centers and enough catering to feed five thousand people.
No but selfish greed has.Surely circuit infrastructure hasn't changed much since then?
Well there was certainly enough space for the Apex team at Silverstone. I believe they'll be occupying garages at other races between now and the end of the season too.It's hilarious but I'm sure I have seen a full racing series grid of 30 cars in one of the Wing garages at Silverstone. It's almost like you could fit half a day's worth of racing cars in the garages if you really tried.
