The FIA has provided further information on the progress of Cadillac’s application to become the eleventh team on the F1 grid in 2026.
The FIA is nearing a final decision on the Cadillac F1 entry in the coming weeks as new technical regulations loom for the next season. Cadillac has been preparing to join the grid, with an agreement in principle reached with F1 late last year. Despite initial doubts over competitiveness, General Motors committed to building and supplying power units. Organizational changes saw Michael Andretti step back, with GM taking a larger role. Cadillac has made key hires recently, including Pat Symonds as chief technical officer and Graeme Lowdon as team principal. The FIA is set to apply the same strict budget cap to Cadillac as the existing 10 teams if their entry for the 2026 season is finalized.
