Andretti: F1 teams think ‘we’re a bunch of hillbillies’

Alpine Interim Team Principal Bruno Famin has revealed Renault would be prepared to rediscuss supplying Andretti with an engine if its bid to enter Formula 1 gets accepted.

The FIA announced last month that it had accepted Andretti’s proposal to enter F1 in 2025, but the American outfit is awaiting the green light from Formula One Management.

Although Alpine had confirmed there was an agreement in place for Renault to provide Andretti with power units, Famin disclosed in October that those terms had since expired.

General Motors has revealed that it intends to become an F1 engine manufacturer in 2028, which would be branded as a Cadillac and used by the prospective Andretti outfit.

But Andretti would still require a powertrain in the interim period to cover the final season of the current specification and the start of the overhauled engine regulations in 2026.

Famin has clarified how F1’s delay in delivering a verdict on Andretti was behind his previous comments, adding that Renault would be willing to renegotiate with Andretti.

Asked about the situation, Famin told Autosport: “We are talking to Andretti and to General Motors and we are happy to talk to them.

“If they have an entry, we are happy to resume the talks. For the time being it’s a bit on standby, and not due to us, it’s because the length of the process is much, much, much longer than expected.

“The FIA took much more time to answer than they said at the beginning, now the ball is on the F1 side. If they have an entry, we are happy to discuss [a deal] with Andretti.

“What I said last time is that we had a pre-contract, the pre-contract has expired, then factually right now we don’t have any commitment or any legal commitment with them. But we’re happy to talk to them and to see what we can do together.

“If they have an entry it’s because they will have demonstrated that they will bring a lot of added value to F1, and that the value of the championship and the teams will not be diluted due to that.”

Renault is currently the only manufacturer that supplies just a sole F1 team, with rivals Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull Powertrains all granting its engines to multiple sides.

The French marque has signed up for the next cycle of PU regulations, along with the three aforementioned names and Audi, who will take over the Sauber entry in 2026.
