F1 has confirmed its intention to expand the paddock to include General Motors’, but who should the American giant’s first driver signing be?
F1 has officially started the process for General Motors to become the 11th team on the grid starting in 2026. This move will potentially lead to an expansion of the paddock and require two additional drivers to fill the seats. General Motors’ entry, the Cadillac Formula 1 Team, is a continuation of Andretti’s previous attempt, maintaining key infrastructure and staff connections. The team has numerous driver options to consider from within F1 and beyond. Notable options in the poll include Sergio Perez, Valtteri Bottas, Mick Schumacher, and others, with uncertain situations like Perez’s at Red Bull also in the mix. Fans can participate in the poll or share their opinion on who General Motors should choose as its inaugural F1 driver.
