FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has confirmed Formula 1 is working towards adding an 11th team to the grid for the 2026 season.
国际汽车联合会主席穆罕默德·本·苏莱姆确认,一级方程式正在努力为2026赛季增加第11支车队。
Ben Sulayem said the General Motors brand has an "agreement in principle" to join the series.
本·苏莱姆表示,通用汽车品牌已与该系列达成了“原则性协议”。
The FIA approved an application to enter the world championship from Andretti Global in October last year. However Formula One Management must also give its approval for any new team to join the grid, and it rejected the application earlier this year.
国际汽车联合会去年十月批准了安德雷tti全球公司的世界锦标赛参赛申请。然而,一级方程式管理方也必须批准任何新车队加入赛道,而它在今年早些时候拒绝了该申请。
However rumours during the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend claimed FOM was preparing to announce a reversal of its position which would allow the new entrant to arrive in 2026.
然而,在拉斯维加斯大奖赛期间,有传言称一级方程式管理方准备宣布其立场的反转,这将允许新车队在2026年参赛。
Andretti obtained the backing of General Motors brand Cadillac, which announced it planned to enter as as the team's power unit supplier in 2028. Since then Michael Andretti has stepped down in charge of the Silverstone-based project, prompting speculation Cadillac would rebrand the entire entry.
安德雷tti获得了通用汽车品牌凯迪拉克的支持,后者宣布计划于2028年作为车队的动力单元供应商加入。自那时起,迈克尔·安德雷tti已卸任位于银石的项目负责人,这引发了凯迪拉克将重塑整个参赛队伍的猜测。
Ben Sulayem, who said last year he was "confident" the team would join the series, has given the clearest indication yet FOM is seriously considering a U-turn on its opposition to the project.
本·苏莱姆去年表示他对球队加入该系列“充满信心”,他给出最明确的迹象,表明一级方程式管理方正在认真考虑对该项目的反对态度进行转变。
