Highlights
  • Formula One plans to add Cadillac as an 11th team in 2026.

Story

In November 2024, it was announced that Formula One has reached a preliminary agreement with General Motors to add Cadillac as the 11th team on the racing grid for the 2026 season. Initially led by Andretti, the bid faced rejection earlier in January, but Mario Andretti remains involved in the project. The move has excited motorsport fans, particularly given the potential for experienced drivers, such as Australian Daniel Ricciardo, to join the team. Having been let go by Red Bull's sister team after the Singapore Grand Prix, Ricciardo is now viewed as a potential candidate for the new Cadillac team in 2026, providing him with a chance to revive his F1 career despite previous doubts regarding his future in the sport.
