Andretti strike a deal with Renault for F1 entry
Speaking in an interview with David Land on YouTube, Andretti confirmed that Renault is the chosen engine party, as the wait goes on to find out whether or not the FIA will progress with the application. "We have a formal agreement on the engine supplier and then it's out there. It's going to be Renault, and I'm allowed to say it now!" Andretti commented. F1's other engine manufacturers are Mercedes (works team, McLaren, Aston Martin and Williams), Ferrari (works team, Alfa Romeo and Haas) and Honda (Red Bull and AlphaTauri) – though the latter have taken a step back from the sport . At present, Renault only power the factory Alpine team, which push the French company's sports car brand.
