General Motors has signalled its intention to build a Cadillac-badged Formula 1 engine in 2028 to power Andretti’s prospective Formula 1 entry
General Motors has announced that it will provide an F1 power unit for Andretti Cadillac’s proposed Formula 1 team entry in 2028. The FIA recently approved Andretti Cadillac’s bid to join the F1 grid, pending an agreement with F1’s commercial rights holder. F1 has been hesitant to accept Andretti’s bid, preferring new teams with manufacturer support and engine deals. Initially, Andretti’s bid only had support from Cadillac without a formal engine deal, but General Motors has now committed to supplying them with a power unit. General Motors president Mark Reuss expressed confidence in developing a successful power unit and positioning Andretti Cadillac as a valued works team. The engine project aims to advance GM’s expertise in various areas, including electrification, hybrid technology, and sustainable fuels. It remains uncertain if GM’s engine project is contingent on Andretti securing a place on the F1 grid and who would supply engines to Andretti before GM’s debut in 2028.
