Summary
This week's episode of F1 Coffee Corner covers the new team name, Visa Cash App RB, the contract extensions of Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris, Andretti's Formula One bid, upcoming car launches, and testing.
F1 Coffee Corner discusses the recent news of Formula One management rejecting Andretti's bid to enter Formula One in 2025 and 2026. The main issue behind the rejection is money, as the current teams do not want to split the prize pot 11 ways instead of 10. The negotiations between Andretti, Formula One management, and the FIA have been a power struggle, with no agreement reached on the financial terms. Andretti now faces a crossroads and must decide whether to stay in Formula One, buy an existing team, or wait until 2028 to reapply.
- The new team name, Visa Cash App RB, has sparked discussion and raised questions about the loss of team identity in Formula One.
- The contract extensions of Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris indicate their importance as number one drivers for Ferrari and McLaren respectively.
- Andretti's Formula One bid has faced obstacles and silence from Formula One management, raising concerns about the lack of transparency in the decision-making process.
