Race week for Qatar started with not on-track discussions but instead all the talk was of Andretti receiving the FIA seal of approval.
After four applicants submitted a bid to the sport’s governing body, Andretti was the sole candidate to be given the green light and now their fate is a matter for FOM.
The current 10 outfits are mostly unwilling to split their pie a little bit more and Sky F1 pundit Karun Chandhock has put a price on how much he thinks Andretti’s arrival could cost each team. Howson became Hamilton’s partner in what was the future F1 World Champion’s first experience of single seaters and even then, Howson could tell how talented he was.
“I was like, ‘That’s quite tough’. They said another chap called Ben Reeves, very young, so I was not really sure about him, and then someone called Lewis Hamilton. But it is the words of Luca de Meo which have made former Jordan Grand Prix and Cosworth head Mark Gallagher describe him as “impatient.”“Alan Permane, 34 years at Enstone and, perhaps less so, Laurent Rossi, the chief executive of Alpine who has been in the sport for two and a half years and not left a major impact on it other than calling his own team amateurish, which wasn’t a great leadership technique.
