Formula 1 is set to potentially expand to 11 teams in 2026, with General Motors showing interest in a works entry. The Andretti Global project involving GM faced initial setbacks, but with Andretti stepping down and GM’s increased involvement, a works entry is becoming more likely. Discussions are underway regarding the team’s approval as a new entrant for 2026, with a potential announcement expected soon. The GM-backed team is progressing with car development and could be ready to join the grid in just over a year. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has expressed support for a full GM entry, highlighting the importance of growing the sport’s popularity and revenue. Ultimately, the decision rests with the commercial rights holder and the FIA.
