Michael Andretti says he is still hoping to be on the grid in 2025, but still waiting for conversations with F1/FOM to even begin.

    Is GM not yet involved? Why would they use Toyota’s wind tunnel and not one of GM’s?

      There are rules regarding wind tunnels. McLaren already had a wind tunnel, but used this same Toyota tunnel until this year.

        There are rules regarding wind tunnels.

        There aren’t for non-participants. You can make an 2023 F1 car model and test it in your private wind tunnel for how long you like.

            Then it makes sense to follow the rules.

            What amount is their wind tunnel and CFD allowance then? 🙄

            Hint: The FIA has not allocated wind tunnel and CFD time to Andretti because they aren’t competing.
