I thought the regulations required any additional teams to use Renault engines since they have no customers?
Or does Renault just get the first option to be the supplier?
If a team doesn't have any contract with a PU supplier, they are assigned Pu with the least customers.
If Andretti enters in 2025 and don't have a PU deal, Renault will be forced to supply them. If they enter in 2026 or later, there are three PUs with only one team: Renault (Alpine), Honda (Aston martin) and Audi (Sauber), so any of them could be forced to supply them.
