Renault open to restarting negotiations with Andretti
B. Fanmi, Renault’s head of power unit development, expressed a positive attitude regarding engine supply negotiations with Andretti, who aims to participate in F1 from 2026.
“(The pre-contract we had with Andretti) was completely dependent on Andretti’s availability. If they have had discussions with General Motors, we would be happy to resume those discussions. ”
“It took a little longer than originally planned, and the pre-agreement had expired. Therefore, everything is currently on hold. However, we would be happy to sit down at the negotiating table with Andretti and find a common solution. ”
Andretti has an unofficial contract with General Motors to supply engines starting in 2028. However, he is looking for a customer engine to fill the gap, but nothing has been decided at this time. If Andretti’s engine cannot be decided, Renault or Honda will be installed in line with the regulations.
