Formula 1 Considers Adding Cadillac-Backed Team for 2026

The potential entry of General Motors' Cadillac brand, following restructuring at Andretti Global, may soon receive approval from F1 stakeholders.

Formula 1 is reportedly close to approving an 11th team, led by General Motors under the Cadillac brand, for the 2026 season.
The Andretti Global bid, originally denied earlier this year, gained momentum after Michael Andretti stepped back from leadership roles in favor of Dan Towriss as majority owner.
The U.S. Department of Justice launched an antitrust investigation into F1's initial rejection of the Andretti bid, which had previously met all FIA criteria.
Existing teams have expressed concerns about prize money dilution but appear more open to General Motors' involvement, especially with Cadillac engines expected by 2028.
The decision could be announced soon, with discussions intensifying during the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend, marking a potential turning point for U.S. representation in F1.
