The arrival of General Motors - Cadillac has created tremendous excitement in Formula 1 circles but what do we know so far and who will drive for them?

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.

The Cadillac brand of General Motors Co. in Detroit will make its long-awaited debut in the Formula 1 World Championship in 2026, the automaker announced Monday. Cadillac Formula 1 will be the first new team to join F1 since 2016 and the 11th team on the grid.

Formula 1 has announced General Motors and Cadillac will enter the championship as the 11th team starting in 2026.

Formula One announced Monday that “an agreement in principle” has been reached “with General Motors to support bringing GM/Cadillac” to the grid as the sport’s 11th team in 2026.

After a very public failed attempt by Michael Andretti to bring another American team to Formula 1, General Motors has fought through the bureaucracy and politics to join the grid as a works team in 2026. The announcement came this morning after the series just wrapped up the Las Vegas Grand Prix over the weekend.
