The Cadillac Formula 1 Team has officially received final approval to join the F1 grid in 2026, marking an expansion to 11 teams. This entry, supported by General Motors and operated by TWG Motorsports, will initially utilize Ferrari engines before transitioning to its own power units by the end of the decade. The FIA and Formula One Management confirmed that Cadillac met all requirements for entry, emphasizing the significance of this move for the sport's evolution. The team's principal, Graeme Lowdon, and TWG Motorsports' CEO Dan Towriss have outlined plans to enhance facilities and technology in preparation for the new regulations.
