Does this mean Andretti is actually happening? He must have more knowledge than most about the situation between F1 and Andrettiβ¦

Still trying to force their way in, this is just another move. I'm guessing Pat Symonds was already on his way out at 70 yo, this way he gets a final consultancy contract doing minimal work, so win-win really.
Yep they are paying him for his name, contacts, and reputation.
This silly season truly brings the unexpected
F1: Look, Andretti, it's just... We don't think you're a serious enough candidate to join. Unless you pay extra of course.
Andretti: Here's a commitment from GM to join us and bring in substantial money to the sport.
F1: Okay, but we're worried that you don't have the facilities or the staff.
Andretti: Here's our new facility in Silverstone, with another one to come - all fully staffed.
F1: Right, right. But... Uhm...
Andretti: We just signed Pat Symonds.
F1: Okay, wait...
Andretti: Here's our friend, the US Congress.
F1:,,,
F1: bUt YoU dOnT bRiNg AnY vAluE tO F1!
