Cadillac’s entry into F1 in 2026 will cause a few issues at certain grands prix – Monaco one of them.
Red Bull and Racing Bulls will have an advantage at the Monaco Grand Prix as Cadillac joins the F1 grid next year. The addition of an 11th team will pose logistical challenges, especially at circuits with limited space like Monaco. For the 2026 season onwards, most teams will have to give up their traditional European motorhomes to accommodate the increased presence, except for Red Bull and Racing Bulls who will retain their iconic floating palace. Cadillac and the other eight teams will have to make do with temporary paddock structures for the Monaco Grand Prix, similar to those used in Miami. It remains to be seen if the FIA and F1 will also resort to temporary facilities or seek exemptions for their European motorhomes. The impressive Monaco Energy Station used by Red Bull and Racing Bulls is a key element in delivering a unique experience during the Monaco GP weekend. The construction of the grandiose building in Imperia, Italy, involves a team of 70 over 21 days, before being transported in two sections on a six-hour journey to Monaco for assembly with 130 tons of weights securing it in place. With limited garage space already a challenge for Monaco with 10 F1 teams, adjustments and plans are still being made to accommodate the addition of Cadillac to the grid.
