Formula One's invitation to Andretti Cadillac for an in-person meeting about its application to join the motorsports series was sent via email and landed in a spam folder, which is why Michael Andretti and General Motors representatives never answered the request.
The junk email revelation came Friday as Andretti Global sought to clarify two points in the sharply critical document F1 released earlier this week in rejecting the Andretti Cadillac application.
An in-person meeting to discuss commercial matters would be and remains of paramount importance to Andretti Cadillac,” the team said.
“Andretti Cadillac has been operating with 2026 as the year of entry for many months now," the team said.
He then petitioned F1 to expand the grid for what Andretti claims will be a true American team in the series.
