Such a sorry decision by F1 / Liberty Media. I'd trade Haas, Vcarb, and maybe more for a chance of another team coming in and being competitive.
They're in a position to know more about this than me, but they're so untrustworthy and greedy.

That's shit
If Andretti, one of the biggest name in racing backed by GM can't get in. Who can?
What a load of fucking piss being shot at their own foot.
Andretti has a lot to bring to the table. There will never be an 11th team.
There were 11 teams as recently as 2014.
The game has changed significantly. No driver lineup changes for the first time in the sport's history. And talented junior drivers stacking up at the gates waiting for a seat
The addition of an 11th team would place an operational burden on race promoters
That's the first good argument against them joining that I have ever heard. But I'm sure that's solveable.
Also quite ironic when Liberty has been increasing the pressure on race promoters, and even insisted on promoting the Miami & Las Vegas races themselves instead on relying on race promoters.
It is not a good argument. The current regs state every F1 track must have capacity/facilities for 12 teams. Not to mention a big portion of the tracks on the calendar hosted 11 teams in 2016, and 12 teams in 2012.
