What the Andretti rejection means for F1

Scott Mitchell-Malm and Glenn Freeman join Edd Straw to discuss the news that Formula 1 has rejected the bid for a new General Motors-backed Andretti Global entry, despite the FIA’s prior approval. They meticulously pick through the reasons F1 gave for rejecting the American team's bid for a grid slot (and the validity of those reasons), explain what the Andretti camp's reaction has been, and debate what's likely to happen next in this long-running saga. They also discuss the optics of the rejection, whether they feel it was fair, and how it's likely to be viewed by fans, many of whom were clearly keen to see an 11th team on the grid.
