@LuFins-Dad said in The answer is "No".:
Andretti agreed to pay $200,000,000 in fees to the existing 10 teams
The annual budget cap for a single team is 135 million, so that wouldn't make that much difference over 3 years.
I don't agree with turning them down, but I'm pretty sure the reason wasn't because anybody thought Andretti would win any races. Maybe the back-marker teams didn't want to get beat, which would probably happen, but Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari and McClaren probably aren't that worried.
I don't really understand it, to be honest. F1 has clearly been desperate to try and bring in interest in the US for the sport, and the owning company is American.
