Highlights

Formula 1 has reached an agreement with General Motors to add an 11th team for the 2026 season.
This new team will be branded as Cadillac and includes commitments to future engine supply.
The entry of Cadillac is expected to boost Formula 1's popularity in the United States.

Story

In November 2024, Formula 1 confirmed an agreement with General Motors to enter as the 11th team in the 2026 season. Initially, a larger bid by Andretti Global, which included GM, was rejected by Formula 1 earlier this year. However, discussions continued with GM, leading to the approval of Cadillac as the branding for the new team. The entry of a major manufacturer like GM is seen as beneficial for the sport, particularly in attracting American fans. While GM plans to serve as a future engine supplier, they will begin their debut by securing a partnership with an existing manufacturer.
