F1 has stirred a hornet’s nest inside GM as it ‘will not let Andretti fail’ with its bid to get on the grid. How long will the fight continue?
General Motors Motorsport boss Eric Warren has expressed firm support for Andretti in their pursuit of a spot on the F1 grid, following widespread backing. GM is backing Andretti’s F1 ambitions through its Cadillac brand, planning to provide a power unit from 2028. Andretti aims to enter F1 earlier, looking to secure a customer engine from a current manufacturer like Renault. Despite facing challenges in convincing F1 before 2028, GM is committed to technically supporting Andretti. Discussions have taken place with F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali to overturn the initial rejection, with time being crucial given the 2026 regulations confirmation upcoming. Warren emphasized GM’s racing success and determination to prove its capabilities in F1, believing in delivering something extraordinary to fans and the brands involved.
