Formula 1 has reached an agreement in principle with General Motors to introduce a GM/Cadillac team to the grid in 2026, without mentioning Andretti initially. Last week, it was revealed that F1 was set to accept the Andretti-Cadillac entry after all, leading to the confirmation of the 11th entry being the GM/Cadillac team. Despite Andretti’s absence in the initial announcement, F1 has acknowledged the progress made by GM and TWG Global in terms of viability and commitment. The CEO of TWG Global, Dan Towriss, expressed excitement about partnering with General Motors in Formula 1 and creating a team that embodies American innovation. The team, initially a Ferrari customer, will eventually be powered by a General Motors engine, and discussions with Ferrari are ongoing regarding the engine supply agreement.
