GM is gearing up for an entry onto the F1 grid for the 2026 season – how does Christian Horner feel about it?
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner expresses openness to General Motors’ potential entry into F1, emphasizing that it shouldn’t disadvantage current F1 teams. General Motors is reportedly close to being approved for a 2026 team entry with a new team name, Cadillac F1. The 11th team’s arrival aligns with new technical regulations that also see Honda’s return, and Audi and Ford entering the competition. Ford’s partnership with Red Bull for power unit development could set the stage for a rivalry with the new American team. Horner stresses the importance of protecting existing teams’ finances amidst speculation of a significant entry fee from GM. Overall, Horner welcomes GM while underlining the need to address financial implications and avoid diluting the prize fund distribution.
