US-based motorsport giants Andretti want to be on the F1 grid but have been ಌmet with pushback from the existing 10 teams who are concerned that the prize pot would be diluted.

Michael Andretti called this attitude “greedy”.

Domenicali told Sky: “It’s not about ‘not welcoming’. This ꦉis the wrong wording.

“Michael Andretti is very vocal about joining 🐲F🧔1. In my view it was not smart to say that the teams were ‘too greedy’ and protecting themselves.

“That is my opinion.

“There are others who are ⛎much less vocal who would like to come into F1.

꧂“There is a process to respect. If all the el🌸ements are there, they are welcome.

“We don’t have to overreact if som⭕eone pushes the system.

“What isไ more vital is to protect the growth of the sport and the sustainability of the teams who in✅vest in F1.

“The process will be done se꧟riously, in the right way.”

Aske𝔍d if Andretti had annoyed him, Domenicali said: “I have discussed that with them. I said to them that I would have ac✱ted in a different way.”

Questioned about Andretti’s attractiveness as a US team at a time when F1 was so popular in America, Domenicali said: “We need to be pruden🔯t. There is not a negative attack on Andretti.

“If you are able to join F1, you need to be 🌄really strong in t🎶erms of a sustainable plan for the future.

“The problem in the past - we had so many teams coming in, and co🎀ming out.”

More new engine manufacturers?

Audi, Honda and Ford are the big-name engine manufa𝔉cturers who will enter F1 when the🐬 new regulations allow in 2026.

Audi wi🤪ll power Sauber, Ford will link up with Red Bull and Honda plan to return but don🐟’t have a confirmed partner yet.

“A couple of years ago we 🎉changed the regulation to allow teams to have more engines from a single manufact💞urer,” Domenicali said.

“Now two very important manufacturers are joining. Maybe s🐈ome others. I don’t want to say anything. But maybe. You never know.

“The right balanc𒊎e is between teams, constructors, manufacturers, to shape the sport.

“Technology has always 🌄been an i༒mportant part of F1 but it is not enough.

“To beli෴eve that only tec𒀰hnology is connected to F1 would be a mistake.

“The emotional side? If you miss this, the sport♒ will collapse.

[Manufacturers] are coming because they recogඣnise the power of F1.”

Will Porsche enter F1?

Iconic manufacturer Porsche were in talks to partner with Red Bull but, despite that collapsing, ღDomenicali rev𝄹ealed that they are still interested in joining F1.

“It would be easy to▨ say, for me, ‘just check with them’,” he said꧂.

“But I think that Porsche is thinking ‘is there an opportunity’ t🍷hat is available 🦂to them.

“The more time that passes, the mo🌳re difficult it is to be effective with a technical and commercial proposition.”
