Inside scoop on a new Formula 1 team

The FIA expects to receive at least three or four new entrant applications for Formula 1 under the Expressions of Interest process. While the current Concorde Agreement caters to 10 teams, it is believed to allow for up to 12. Among the potential teams are Andretti, which has announced Cadillac as a power unit partner, Panthera, HiTech, and a Swiss-based project with Craig Pollock at the helm.

However, Saudi Motorsport Federation President, Prince Khalid, confirmed that it is still in the early stages and that many details need to be considered before making a final decision.

Aston Martin gunning for a victory
