Cadillac to Run 2026 F1 Entry from Silverstone as Perez Lines Up First Test

The team is consolidating early operations in the UK to stay on schedule for its debut.

Overview

  • Team principal Graeme Lowdon says the 2026 car will be coordinated from Silverstone while the new Fishers, Indiana headquarters is completed.
  • Sergio Perez confirmed plans to return to on-track running after simulator work, with reports indicating the outing will likely be in a previous Ferrari car.
  • Cadillac’s race lineup is set with Perez and Valtteri Bottas, Colton Herta is the test driver, and the reserve seat remains open with selection based on merit.
  • The program continues a recruitment drive across its transatlantic footprint and will use Ferrari power units initially before targeting in-house GM engines around 2029.
  • The newcomer is scheduled to make its F1 debut as the 11th constructor at the Australian Grand Prix on 6–8 March 2026.
