FIA, and it now falls to the F1 organisation and its owner Liberty to assess the commercial position of the potential new entrant.
Existing team bosses have continued to express their opposition to a new team coming in, in essence, because of the future requirement to divide the prize fund 11 ways instead of 10.
Horner also suggested that Andretti should follow Audi's example by buying an existing team and that its partner Cadillac should come in with its own engine instead of lending its name to an outfit that intends to utilise Renault customer power units.
Nyck de Vries just 10 races into the latter’s career — will return to AlphaTauri at some point, having inked a contract extension for 2024 last month.
Michael Andretti, son of 1978 world champion Michael and owner of the team looking to enter, responded to that by labelling F1's 10 teams "greedy".
Vowles said it is not about greed, but about F1 making sure it is in a healthy place before accepting new entrants.
"We actually have I think a sustainable entity for once. Teams are working more and more together, we have closer racing, but it should be known it is not just us that are not financially stable, I'd say probably half the grid aren't.
FOM approval if its entry is to progress any further.
Later, Hamilton appeared to step down from his Andretti support. He wrote on social media: “Nope, don’t support Andretti. Just the idea of another team in future if it’s a chance to make our sport more diverse.”
Horner also suggested that some venues couldn't cope with an extra team.
"Let's face it, where would we put them in Zandvoort, for example?" Horner added. "So I think there's some operational issues to overcome as well.
"I think that's for Liberty and the FIA to get together, come to us with a proposal and then we can all consider it."
