A bipartisan group of six U.S. senators is urging the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate Formula 1's management over its decision to reject Andretti Global's bid to join the racing grid in 2025 or 2026. The senators argue that the exclusion of Andretti Global, which includes the Andretti-Cadillac team, may constitute a violation of American antitrust laws. This move comes amid concerns that European companies are attempting to block American competition in the sport. The senators emphasize that Formula 1 profits significantly from American viewership, fans, and venues, and therefore, an American team should be given a fair opportunity to compete in the 2026 championship race.
