So ... this is something Jonathan Noble actually said:
'Andretti heading for F1 green light not court, says Ben Sulayem'
'FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem is optimistic Andretti’s Formula 1 entry will be approved by FOM, as he dismissed fears of court action or a war erupting between series bosses.' https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/andretti-heading-for-f1-green-light-not-court-says-ben-sulayem/10531501/
He also repeatedly referred to an 11th entry as an 'extra' team.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that well more than half of the current tracks have held races with 11 or even 12 teams. There were 12 teams in 2012, and they raced on, by my quick count, 14 of the circuits currently being raced. Am I doing it wrong?
One commenter notes: "Of the tracks that should be on the calendar when Andretti joins, only Jeddah, Miami, Zandvoort, Lusail and Las Vegas have not hosted Formula One races with 11 or even 12 teams in recent times. That's less than a quarter of the venues! So why is Motorsport falsely claiming that more than half of the venues couldn't cope with it???"
Never mind the fact that new tracks are required to have garages for at least 12 teams.
