Michael Andretti’s buyout of the Formula 1 team currently known as Alfa Romeo is a done deal. “It hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, but 80 percent of Sauber has already been sold to Andretti,” Schumacher told Sky Deutschland. “What I would say is that he is very serious about Formula 1. “I think it would be great if Michael and the Andretti name were involved in Formula 1, but we’ll see what happens.”. He clarified that his connection with the Andretti acquisition company “doesn’t have anything to do with Formula 1”. But he also insisted he wouldn’t mind if Andretti becomes the new team owner, declaring of the rumoured buyout: “Why not?”.
