During the Miami Grand Prix, Mario Andretti, a former F1 champion, claimed that Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali invited him at an event, where CEO of Formula 1 owner Liberty Media, Greg Maffei, allegedly vowed to prevent Michael Andretti from entering Formula 1. The controversy arose over the denial of Michael Andretti's bid to start racing in 2026 and the dispute about adding an 11th team to Formula 1. The situation escalated further when U.S. Congress members became involved, questioning the delayed entry until 2028 and emphasizing potential job benefits for General Motors.
