Formula 1 has reached an agreement in principle with General Motors to bring the Cadillac brand as the 11th team on the grid in 2026. The FIA approved the project last year, but in January, F1’s commercial assessment led to the rejection of the Andretti Cadillac team for that year. However, talks with GM and its partners have progressed, with GM committing to providing its own power unit for a potential 2028 entry. This move has the full support of F1’s key stakeholders, including outgoing Liberty Media president Greg Maffei, who played a significant role in evolving GM’s plans. F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali expects the GM/Cadillac team to enter the Championship in just over a year, showing the sport’s growth and evolution.
