US automotive giant General Motors will finally join the Formula One World Championship in 2026, with luxury brand Cadillac flying the flag. Overnight, Formula One announced it had reached an agreement in principle with General Motors and its partner TWG Global to allow Cadillac to compete from 2026. It marks the first arrival of a new team in Formula One since 2016 – when fellow US-headquartered squad Haas joined the championship – and will see the grid expanded to 11 teams.
” It’s not yet clear whether the team’s manufacturing operations will be based in the US – where General Motors and Andretti have bases in Indiana, North Carolina and Michigan – or the UK, where Andretti recently opened a facility in Silverstone, near the home of the British Grand Prix. What is known is Mario Andretti – the 1978 Formula One champion and four-time IndyCar title winner – will serve as the director of the team’s board.
