Why would WTR, with their success, need to partner with Andretti in the first place? They were already better resourced than most (all?) privateers; they didn't need to form a partnership for their single entry. I don't see either WRT or Andretti partnering speculatively on the chance that they get another ARX-06, either the third or effectively taking MSR's. They likely had some form of assurance that a second ARX-06 would be coming their way.
