Michael Schmidt from Auto, Motor und Sport spoke with Michael Andretti:

"The whole thing is actually no longer an Andretti gig at all, it's a factory operation by GM. And in fact, all the people being recruited, even in the chassis area, are now already being recruited by General Motors and no longer by Andretti."

Can't wait to see the goalposts move again.

It's so infuriating. And in the meantime we have Haas just being a waste of a slot.

Don't forget about Alpha Tauri

AT at least seems to have ambitions and goals and are just incapable of achieving them. But Gene Haas is perfectly happy just seeing his logo being driven around by those two tractors while the value of a team slot increases

Yep that's all they do because it's money over sport.

But since it's a business, antitrust laws apply. There are suggestions that unfairly closing off market entry, Andretti may have a good case at its hand, now that his team cleared the FIA sporting rules. Previously Michael Schmidt also referred to a EU court case in that area but didn't specify which exactly he means. I found one from 2008 about some motorcycling competition in Greece but don't enough of the legalese to confidently say that this is it.

I hope that works out
