Andretti sends signal to F1 with images of future US base

Andretti Global has sent a strong signal to the Formula 1 organisation by revealing the first images of the new US HQ where its Andretti Cadillac team will be based.

The team's prospective entry was rejected by F1 on January 31, but it is still pushing ahead on the basis that it will eventually be allowed in.

The images and details of the 90-acre US site, which will be completed in 2025, are a clear sign of how serious the F1 project is.

Significantly one of the partners involved in its design is Ridge, a British company that has worked on several UK F1 facilities, including the new Aston Martin campus at Silverstone.

The huge Andretti Global facility in Fishers, to the northeast of Indianapolis, will house the team’s IndyCar, Indy NXT and IMSA operations.

However, around 50% of it will be devoted to manufacturing and design for the F1 project, working in conjunction with the UK facility.

The team has also recently taken possession of its new base at Silverstone, where the aerodynamics department will be based, having worked until now in a temporary office.

Phase 1 of the Fishers project is the main 400,000 square feet building, while an Andretti Experience building that will be open to the public and features a museum and restaurant is among the later planned steps. There’s also room on the site for further future expansion.
