The Capt's estimate is for the Andrettis to be allowed in, not the amount needed to build or buy a team.
"Formula 1 teams are naming their price for how much it will take to welcome an 11th team.
While the FIA, F1’s governing body, has a $200 million entry fee to offset revenue and prize money dilution from another team entering, that has not swayed most teams into supporting an additional contender.
Instead, teams are looking for at least $600 million, per Motorsport.
One source said that that is the lowest figure they have heard, and some teams are pushing for more. The current FIA rules apply through 2025, but some teams are pushing for them to be amended earlier to increase the entry fee."
