General Motors is set to become the first U.S. automaker with a Formula 1 team when a Cadillac-branded team joins the racing series in 2026, F1 announced Monday, ending a years-long battle between the series and former driver Michael Andretti, who initially proposed a GM expansion.

A Cadillac team is set to be part of Formula 1 racing in 2026, and it won't just be the American luxury brand's name on the cars competing against the likes of Ferrari and Mercedes in coming years.

The F1 application process still has additional steps to complete, but F1's agreement in principle with General Motors is a crucial milestone. The post F1 supports GM/Cadillac as an 11th team for the 2026 season appeared first on The Manual.
