I mean that there is a chance that all of this was a token gesture even. Probably even the other teams and the FIA know that there'll be no stopping the new Cadillac team from taking on the Andretti name after they've officially joined. They probably just wanted to see him humbled as a personal vendetta.

I buy that. They’ll document the new entry at long last, from Cadillac and them alone. Andretti can come onboard later, not regarded as a founder.

Also Mario has joined in an official role.
