General Motors still “confident” in Andretti Cadillac F1 bid
General Motors’ vice president of performance and motorsport, Jim Campbell, confirmed that the American automotive giant is continuing with the F1 project at a steady pace. The team had requested a meeting with F1 due to an IT issue that resulted in a missed invitation in December. The bid, which was approved by the FIA in October, was later rejected by F1 in January citing concerns about competitiveness with a Renault power unit. However, the door remains open for a future entry with Cadillac’s own power unit in 2028. Campbell expressed confidence in the joint capabilities of Andretti and Cadillac to field a competitive entry, despite the challenges. GM is actively developing the car with Andretti, emphasizing their belief in the strength of their application and seeking further discussions with F1.
