Cadillac confirms entry into Formula 1 in 2026 as GM marks the return of the U.S. to the grid (Instagram @cadillac)
General Motors (GM) has finally received approval to join the Formula 1 grid in 2026 with its Cadillac team, which will become the 11th competitor in F1.
GM plans to produce its own engines by the end of the decade but will initially use a power unit from another team. Ferrari and Honda are potential suppliers.
Although GM initially intended to enter through the Andretti-Cadillac team, Andretti Global’s involvement in the project remains uncertain. Michael Andretti stepped down as CEO of Andretti Global to facilitate GM’s entry, with Dan Towriss taking his place. Andretti is expected to support the project with its infrastructure, but the specifics of the partnership are not yet clear to the public.
Cadillac joins F1 as the first American team since Haas, which entered in 2016. GM will use facilities across the U.S. and the U.K., including locations in Fishers, Indiana, and Silverstone, England, to support its team.
Mario Andretti, the last American Formula 1 champion, will serve as a director on the team’s board, strengthening ties to F1 history in the U.S.
