Isn't Andretti also out of the picture?
In the same way that Williams is out of the picture now that the namesake no longer controls the team, sure.
I'll happily be wrong, I'd love an 11th team on the grid. I had the impression it was more a goal for Andretti himself rather than the team, so when Andretti stepped down I figured that was it for the F1 plans as well. If they'll still push to get into F1 I'm all for it, I just don't see it happening without Andretti at the helm.
I haven't seen anything suggesting andretti global is any less determined to make it to the grid.

Maybe this is nothing, but it seems like andretti sr is still banging the F1 drum trying to attract attention and support.
That's pretty promising news. I seriously hope we do see them on the grid in 2026 because I would absolutely love more competition in F1.
Any team that isn't subject to following orders from a sister or parent team is a step in the right direction imo.
