Andretti just haven't got the quality and quantity of engineering resource to design 2025 and 2026 new rules cars in parallel

I've said this many times, and it's unpopular as hell to
not be behind an Andretti entry, but the Andretti team isn't even consistently top tier in a spec series.
They don't have the resources in a spec series to keep a driver - whom many want to laud as "just as good as any F1 driver including Verstappen or Lando or Russell" - consistently in the hunt as a race winner or championship contender.
Sorry, not sorry that Mario didn't get his wish this time around.
Would I want to see another American team? Oh, hell yes. But please, send in the varsity squad. I'm not sure who that is, but my heart tells me it's not these guys.
