Cadillac Joins F1 Grid as 11th Team for 2026

Cadillac, under General Motors, has been officially approved as the 11th team to join the Formula 1 grid in 2026, following a revised bid that was initially submitted as Andretti-Cadillac. The entry represents a significant expansion of the FIA Formula One World Championship, aligning with the new 2026 regulations. The team will initially be a customer of Ferrari for power units, with plans to develop its own engines by 2028. This development marks a transformative moment for F1, adding fresh energy and strengthening American representation in the sport, alongside Haas F1. The approval follows an investigation into why an earlier bid was rejected and highlights the constructive engagement between GM, TWG Motorsports, and F1 management. The new team, based in Silverstone, UK, will bring together GM's engineering excellence and TWG's motorsport expertise.
