The FIA is planning to allow prospective new Formula 1 teams to register their interest in joining the championship.

The waiving of that anti-dilution fund for any new entrant would require the unanimous agreement of all 10 existing teams. The FIA/F1’s willingness for new teams has been hinted at by F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali at the end of last year, who said a high-quality project that would bring value to F1 would be welcome. These fears are linked to a clause in the latest Concorde Agreement signed by all 10 existing teams in 2020, which introduced a $200million anti-dilution fund that would need to be paid by any new entrant and would be shared evenly among current competitors.

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem says motorsport's governing body will launch a process to find possible new teams to join the F1 grid.

However, USF1 failed to appear on the grid at all, and none of the teams which did enter were still in the sport by 2017. Only one entirely new team has entered Formula 1 in the previous ten years: Haas, which joined the world championship in 2016. Currently, under the Concorde Agreement, any new entrants to Formula 1 must pay a fee of $200 million (£164.8m) to be divided between the existing teams.

The project of billionaire Calvin Lo should also not be forgotten. If Andretti’s application is successful, it would bring the number of cars on the grid to 22 in 2024, something that has not happened since 2016 in Formula One. Recently, German manufacturer Audi announced its entry into Formula 1 as a factory team from the 2026 season after signing a partnership with the Sauber Group.

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem says he has instructed his organisation to look at an 'expressions of interest' process for possible new Formula 1 teams.

On Monday Ben Sulayem used his official Twitter account to surprisingly reveal that he has “asked my FIA team to look at launching an Expressions of Interest process for prospective new teams for the FIA F1 World Championship.” Formula 1 has not had a new team since 2016, when Haas joined the championship, while the previous new entrants came in 2010 before all collapsing.

Sackwell and Binthorpe bulletin: Towards neighbourhood teams (Pulse)

The latest bulletin from the Sackwell & Binthorpe ICS offers a steer on establishing a 'team of teams' in your neighbourhood.

Those close to vaporising (the highest level of alert) will trigger a range of support measures from the ICS. These may include additional resilience training, help to try harder, strong encouragement from the ICB or a personal visit from the director of performance and recovery at the regional team. I always like to end this update on a positive note, so the last word goes to Dr Fuller. An integrated neighbourhood team encompasses more than one PCN, so is bigger than a neighbourhood but smaller than a place. A place encompasses PCNs and neighbourhoods as well as one or more secondary care trusts. A PCN is a group of practices serving a population of between 30,000 and 50,000 at neighbourhood level.

Yet as F1 embraces its feeder series more and more in the current era, the fact it’s impossible for F2/F3 teams to dream of becoming an F1 team one day feels like a (frankly very Netflix-friendly) storyline going to waste. Sure, Mercedes has been unwavering in its commitment since joining and Renault, either side of the Lotus era, has stuck around, but you don’t have to look far past that to recall the exits of Honda, Toyota, and BMW in a relatively small window for relatively similar reasons. That independent doesn’t necessarily have to be Andretti, but let’s take that case given it appears to have an advanced idea of what it wants to do among prospective entrants. And while it’s easy to say that this is because of how rarefied modern F1 has become in parallel with junior series all going single-make and zero-development over recent decades, there’s actually barely any history of teams successfully rising into F1 in their own right. There is no easy solution to the challenge of getting more cars on the grid. Drivers, personnel and even team bosses (two of F1’s top three squads are now led by people who made their names running top teams on the F1 ladder – Christian Horner at Red Bull and Fred Vasseur at Ferrari) can dream of promotion, but there’s no upward mobility for a Formula 2 team itself. That includes a willingness to invest in F1 as a whole by adding something beyond just a couple of cars on the grid. It must bug some of the high-ups in Japan to see all the success Mercedes has got out of the Brackley operation that was Honda’s last attempt at a works team. It can use what must have been a sizeable chunk of money that was set aside to buy into 50% of all of Red Bull’s F1 operations to go it alone. With the cost cap in place, running an F1 team should no longer be the financial black hole it was in the first decade of the 21st century. F1 should aim for a capacity grid, which according to Article 8.2 of the sporting regulations is a healthy 13 two-car operations. There’s talk of a time when every F1 team could be a billion-dollar asset and competitive on track.
