Andretti Global’s Formula 1 entry was initially rejected, but there may be a new opportunity on the horizon thanks to rumors involving General Motors.
- Despite being left out, Alpine has not decided on a power unit supplier for 2026.
- General Motors is rumored to be developing a power unit alongside Renault for future F1 seasons.
- This collaboration could benefit both Alpine and Andretti by sharing development costs and improving team stability.
- Recent team changes at Alpine, including the departure of key personnel, might make this collaboration more appealing.
Andretti Global and Cadillac had their F1 bid rejected, leaving Andretti looking for other options.
Meanwhile, Alpine hasn’t committed to a power unit supplier, unlike other teams that already have deals in place.
General Motors, originally planning to enter F1 with Andretti, is now rumored to be working with Renault on a power unit for the 2026 season.
If this collaboration happens, Alpine could share the costs of power unit development with GM, avoiding the need to buy from another supplier.
This partnership raises questions about Andretti’s role, as Alpine’s boss, Luca de Meo, has consistently said the team is not for sale.
However, with recent changes and instability at Alpine, a collaboration that includes Andretti could help fill gaps and stabilize the team.
Only time will tell if these rumors lead to a new opportunity for Andretti in the F1 world.
