FOM approval will either include the upfront joining fee or the agreement of all the teams, correct?
Or do the teams have a veto regardless?
I read something that suggested the teams can't actually stop Andretti from competing. But they can stipulate that they receive no TV coverage or something equally as bonkers.
If it has to be limited to 10 teams then there should be some system that pushes a team out if they fail to perform. Not just a boy's club where once you're in you're good forever.
Relegate the bottom team to GP2!
This is how it should work and I donโt care if currently the costs are too different. this also needs to change but at the same time I want to see the best of open wheel motorsport engineering so maybe an introduction of a prototype category for crazy shit for only 4 races a calendar!
The Fernando storyline we never saw coming. His F1 tenure ends when no team will risk the "GP2 engine" radio call.
The teams have no say (at least formally, in practice they could boycott the races or even threat again to create their breakaway series). FIA only can add them to the entrants list. Everything else is FOM.
TV rights? FOM. Contracts with the circuits? FOM. Contracts with DHL? FOM. Contracts with Pirelli? FOM.
So if FOM said so, Andretti wouldn't be able to ship their cars, enter the circuits or even have tires.
