Ford CEO Jim Farley has dismissed Cadillac counterpart Dan Towriss’ comments about a potential Formula 1 rivalry as “laughable.” General Motors is set to enter F1 in 2026 with Cadillac, owned by TWG Motorsports led by Towriss. Ford is returning to F1 after 21 years as a powertrain partner with Red Bull.
Towriss previously stated that a rivalry between Cadillac and Ford in F1 is unlikely, given their different involvements in the sport. Farley echoed this sentiment, stating that true rivalries are earned through competition, not corporate strategies. Cadillac recently conducted its first F1 shakedown at Silverstone while Red Bull launched its Ford-powered car in Detroit.
Farley emphasized that Cadillac and Ford’s involvement in F1 is distinct, and true rivalries are forged through years of battle in the arena. He believes that the focus should be on performance rather than manufactured rivalries.
