Fernando Alonso "Andretti's team succeeds in F1"[F1-Gate .com]

Fernando Alonso says he hopes the bid for Michael Andretti to join F1 as a new team will be successful.

Fernando Alonso took on the Indy 500 for the first time in 2017 with Andretti’s strong support McLaren Honda, leading the race for 27 laps before being forced to retire due to an engine failure.

Currently, Michael Andretti is lobbying for F1 to enter the name of Andretti as “Andretti Global” by 2024.

Fernando Alonso says he fully supports Michael Andretti’s F1 project.

“It could be a big deal,” said Fernando Alonso.

“I know Michael very well. I also know the Andretti family. They are clearly a big part of motorsport in general and they are legendary, so if we put them in Formula 1. If possible, that would be the best news. “

“F1 will benefit from it, and obviously Michael and his team will benefit from sports and participating in F1, and they have the ability and resources to participate in F1 and compete. I think it has power, so I hope it will happen in the next few years. I’m following very closely. ”
