Andretti reveal IndyCar partnership plans

In the aftermath of this decision, Andretti Global's chief operating officer Rob Edwards has said that the team are not necessarily looking for new partners now that the Meyer Shank Racing deal is coming to its conclusion.

“The relationship with MSR has been unique in the level of trust and cooperation and just transparency and everything working with Mike and Jim,” Edwards told RACER.

“So I don’t think we’re looking to do another technical relationship just for the sake of doing something.”

Edwards later touched on a paddock rumor regarding Andretti switching from Honda engines to Chevrolet, confirming this was not the case.

"Despite the paddock rumor that we’re about to change to a new manufacturer, we’re not about to change to a new manufacturer,” he explained.

"And so candidly, that limits the pool of potential technical partners. At this point, there are no plans to do another technical partnership.

"But that doesn’t mean it’s not something that we don’t believe has value. We’re just not sure that the right partner is necessarily out there at the moment.”
