Mario Andretti expresses being "offended" by F1's decision to block the debut of an eleventh team, despite initial support from General Motors for Andretti's new F1 team project.

• F1 pushed the earliest debut of Andretti's team to 2026, with a possible delay until 2028 for a works Cadillac engine.
• Andretti Global has unveiled a new F1 facility at Silverstone Park and is willing to field Formula 2 and Formula 3 teams.

F1's rejection of Andretti's bid may stem from concerns over the financial implications of adding an eleventh team and the competitiveness of the Andretti name in the sport.

• Mario Andretti is set to meet with F1 officials during the forthcoming Miami GP to discuss the entry of his team.
• Andretti Global is fully committed to the project and is open to meeting F1's requirements for entry into the sport.

The meeting between Mario Andretti and F1 officials could determine the future of Andretti's team in F1 and shed light on the sport's stance on additional entries.

Despite initial setbacks, Mario Andretti remains determined to secure entry for his F1 team while emphasizing the value it brings to the series, setting the stage for a crucial meeting with F1 officials to address concerns and seek a pathway forward.
