FOM reject Andretti bid
It's pathetic really. Saying they wouldn't add any prestige to the sport.
When you literally have a team called Visa Cash App RBPlease 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

You're right about it being sad that they haven't been allowed in , but don't blame that name on the FIA .
Blame the idiots that thought it would be a good idea to accept money for such a name .
But , ( and this is a big "but" ) not to excuse the tragic name , it does read somewhat better if it is shortened to VCARB , which I suspect was the idea they were chasing .
It looks bad on the constructors , as it looks to all that they are afraid of the competition .
It looks bad on Andretti , because they somehow weren't good enough .
It looks bad on the FIA , as they rubber stamped a failed bid .
It just looks bad .
It just looks ugly , nasty , money soaked bad .
I guess , though , that the use of " Visa Cash App RB " does illustrate pretty accurately how ugly , nasty , money soaked bad the whole bunch of them are .
And , that really is pathetic .

I think that all parties will regret banning Andretti. It'll take a couple years, but they will wish they had let them in.

Buying Haas would be best for everyone, including Haas. But Gene has given no inclination of wanting to sell. But he also has no ambition for the team either.

It seems likely that Andretti is going to sue F1. It would be interesting to see if they get any success with it.

It's looking more and more like the powers that be want to just try to force Andretti to buy and existing team. And the reality is, they are overvalued.... nobody wants to buy any team not up to par and overpriced.
Being Liberty is a US based company, it could come to legal matters. I don't think anyone wants that, but it doesn't seem like Andretti will back down without a fight either.
rally2, man. "oh but it will ruin the national championships", one may say. but its not like toyota would give ogier a factory car to compete at the french championship (hehe) and there are rules...
