General Motors Secures 2026 Formula 1 Entry with Cadillac Team

Posted : 07 March 2025

General Motors has officially secured its entry into Formula 1 for the 2026 season, marking a significant milestone for the American car giant. The team will be branded under GM’s luxury marque, Cadillac, and will be operated in collaboration with TWG, a US-based motorsport organization. The approval follows months of negotiations after an initial bid linked to Andretti Global was rejected by F1.

 

However, GM’s deeper commitment in a revised proposal convinced the sport’s governing bodies to grant approval. The entry will be based in Silverstone, UK, with Dan Towriss and Mark Walter as key investors, while former F1 driver Mario Andretti will serve in an advisory role.

 

F1 president Stefano Domenicali emphasized GM’s strong commitment as a crucial factor in their approval, calling Cadillac’s entry a significant step in the sport’s evolution. The new team has pledged to develop its own engine in the future, rather than relying on existing manufacturers through mandatory supply rules.

 

 Additionally, GM has secured an engine agreement with Ferrari as it prepares for its debut. These factors, along with an ongoing US Department of Justice investigation into F1’s initial rejection of Andretti’s bid, contributed to Cadillac’s successful entry. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem hailed the decision as a “transformative moment” for the sport.

 

GM’s entry aligns with upcoming regulatory changes in Formula 1 that will take effect in 2026. The new rules will significantly increase the share of hybrid power in the engines and mandate fully sustainable fuels, appealing to manufacturers focused on technological advancements. GM joins a growing list of major automakers investing in F1, including Ford, which is partnering with Red Bull, and Audi, which has taken over Sauber.

 

Honda, which had previously announced plans to leave the sport, has also committed to staying as Aston Martin’s engine supplier. Meanwhile, Renault has opted to exit engine production, with its Alpine team set to use Mercedes power units from 2025.
