This is unusual news, given that F1 suspended the American team's participation in F1 not so long ago.
Michael Andretti already indicated that they might delay it for one reason or another, but they certainly wouldn't be able to prevent his team from becoming a premier class player. How seriously he takes all this is shown by the fact that he chose a leader from the very top of the sport...
“We are incredibly excited to have Pat Symonds join the Andretti project. His vast knowledge and experience in aero and vehicle dynamics, as well as F1 powertrains, will be key to making our new team competitive.
"He is an icon whose expertise has been key to the development of F1 history, and it is a great honour for him to have trusted us with his expertise. Our technical director Nick Chestre has had the pleasure of working with him in the past, and he brings a wealth of invaluable knowledge and an intellectual resource to the team that is truly extraordinary. He will be a great help to us in our development!" the Andrettis said in a press release.
