F1 is readying itself to welcome an eleventh team from 2026. RacingNews365 understands it has now accepted a bid to join the paddock, with an agreement planned behind the scenes.
There will be a new team entering Formula 1 for the 2026 season, likely linked to the Andretti project, with General Motors expected to have a significant role. The official announcement of this new entry is anticipated soon, marking an expansion of F1’s current paddock with a second American team. Despite initial setbacks, Andretti persisted and has now met the target to join in 2026, working towards becoming a works team by 2028. With Renault exiting, the new team’s engine supplier could be either Ferrari or Honda, while General Motors will become an engine supplier from 2028. This development is a positive sign for F1, with greater diversity in power unit providers on the horizon.
