Cadillac Secures Approval for F1 Entry in 2026

Cadillac's Formula 1 team has officially received approval to join the grid in 2026, marking a significant milestone for both the team and the sport. The entry, backed by General Motors and TWG Motorsports, was confirmed after completing the necessary sporting, technical, and commercial assessments by the FIA and Formula One Management. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem described this as a 'transformative moment' for the championship, while F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali emphasized Cadillac's entry as a demonstration of the sport's evolution. The new team will be based in Silverstone and will initially use Ferrari engines until GM can produce their own. Graeme Lowdon has been appointed as team principal, and the presence of Cadillac is expected to inspire future competitors and fans. This entry will make Cadillac the second American-owned team in F1, joining Haas F1.
