Andretti is successful. Penske and Ganassi are wildly successful. Red Bull and Mercedes are on a whole 'nother planet.
There might be a flaw in the logic that 'running and racing team business' is directly relevant to one's win record. Yeah, Andretti has made many mistakes. Hopefully they have learned along the way. Reversing a trend never happens overnight. And they are still there, so there's that.

Yes, Penske, Ganassi and Hendrick are maybe well capable of entering F1. We might never find out how they would fare. Staying in business and making money is a win right there.
