Cadillac Approved for 2026 F1 Season as 11th Team

Cadillac has officially secured its position as the 11th team in Formula One, set to debut in the 2026 season, following approval from the FIA and Formula One. This decision comes after a lengthy process, during which Cadillac, initially linked to Andretti, revamped its application with General Motors' backing, ultimately leading to formal acceptance. The team will start by using Ferrari engines while developing its own power unit by 2028. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem called this approval a 'transformative moment' for the championship, indicating the entry of Cadillac will bring fresh energy to the sport. Team principal Graeme Lowdon expressed pride in the team's progress and eagerness to compete. The announcement signals a new era for F1, coinciding with significant regulatory changes in 2026.
