Cadillac Approved to Join Formula 1 Grid in 2026 as 11th Team

The FIA and Formula 1 have officially confirmed Cadillac's entry, marking a significant expansion with the American manufacturer set to compete under new regulations.

Cadillac, in partnership with General Motors and TWG Motorsports, has received final approval to join Formula 1 as the 11th team starting in the 2026 season.
The team will initially use Ferrari engines but aims to develop its own power units at a facility in North Carolina by the end of the decade.
The project, led by TWG Motorsports, includes a new F1 headquarters in Indiana and a facility near Silverstone, England, to support operations.
Cadillac F1 will be the second American-owned team on the grid, joining Haas F1, and is expected to prioritize American talent in its driver lineup.
The entry aligns with the introduction of new 2026 F1 regulations, which are anticipated to reset the competitive landscape across all teams.
