    This is just approval by the FIA. Formula 1 itself also needs to approve it, and a lot of teams don’t want to accept a new team since it dilutes the money prizes for the constructors championship.

      That’s just negotiations in progress I think.

      Liberty Media would benefit from a truly American team, Andretti has some clout I guess.

      Was the theoretical case of FIA approving and “Formula 1” (FOM?) Not approving the one where they’d technically be allowed to race, but them racing would not be allowed to be broadcast?
