Cadillac Approved to Join Formula 1 Grid as 11th Team in 2026

The GM-backed American team will debut with Ferrari engines before transitioning to in-house power units.

Formula 1 and the FIA have officially approved Cadillac's entry as the 11th team starting with the 2026 season.
The team is a partnership between General Motors and TWG Motorsports, with plans to become a full-works team by developing its own power units later in the decade.
Initially, Cadillac F1 will use Ferrari engines and operate from multiple facilities in the US and the UK, including a base at Silverstone.
The decision follows a lengthy application process and reflects F1's growing focus on the American market, which now hosts three races annually.
Graeme Lowdon has been named team principal, and the driver lineup is expected to include at least one American, with Colton Herta among the potential candidates.
