I really can’t see Ferrari supplying GM for a couple years, it has to be Honda.

I'm just curious as to why Michael Andretti was the problem. Now that it's just GM, things seem to be progressing all along 🤔. I just saw an F1 article able the statement on GM joining in 2026 and from reading it, it sure sounds like a done deal.

GM is more likely to pay out of their own pocket rather than rely entirely on sponsorships who might walk out if results aren't produced after the first year, and thus they can be charged whatever is demanded for the privilege of feeding the other hogs at the trough. Also they're probably more receptive to buying out a team like Audi did and thus not upsetting the status quo.
