James Vowles has explained why Williams are \u201cstrongly against\u201d Andretti\u2019s bid to become F1\u2019s 11th team, calling for the need to \u201cprotect the sport\u201d.
Earlier this week, the FIA announced that Andretti’s initial bid to join the grid had been accepted, with their application now requiring approval from F1 following commercial discussions.
“Williams is against the addition of an 11th team and very strongly against,” he said. “My responsibility is to 900 employees within my company. If you look at company's house you can look up Williams who has submitted it now you can see we’re lossy, very lossy. If you compare it from ‘21 to ‘22 you will see the losses are in the tens of millions more.
“In order to do that, the reason why is we actually have a sustainable entity for once. Teams are actually working more and more together, we have close racing as the result of things. It should be known this isn’t just us that aren’t financially stable.“I would say half of the grid aren't. The addition of an 11th team is sensible but only at the point when the tenth team on the grid is financially stable. I am fortunate to have owners that really believe in what we're doing and invest.
