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.
