Andretti Cadillac F1 Bid Gains Momentum

Andretti Cadillac's potential entry as Formula 1's eleventh team is gaining momentum, with General Motors playing a key role. The FIA had previously approved Andretti's entry but F1 management denied it due to concerns about the team's competitiveness and value. A restructuring has placed Dan Towriss in charge, resulting in renewed discussions and a possible entry in 2026 using customer engines until GM's power units are ready in 2028. This change in leadership seems to have softened F1's stance, alongside increased political pressure and an antitrust investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. The Andretti name may be removed from the team brand, focusing instead on Cadillac. Existing F1 teams have expressed opposition, citing financial concerns, but the growing popularity of F1 in the U.S. could favor Andretti's entry.
