LOSAIL, Qatar -- Lewis Hamilton believes Formula One should embrace Andretti's proposed entry to the sport as an 11th team due to the opportunities it would create and the added excitement it would bring to racing.
This week the sport's governing body, the FIA, formally approved Andretti's bid to join the F1 grid in future, although the American team still needs approval from F1's commercial rights holder Liberty Media to actually secure a spot.
That may be tricky, with several teams opposed to the idea -- on Thursday, Aston Martin boss Lawrence Stroll said F1 would be better off sticking with the existing 10.
Asked about the issue ahead of the Qatar Grand Prix, Hamilton disagreed.
