Championship in 2026
2 hours ago
F
Formula 1 announced today that it has reached an agreement in principle
with General Motors (GM) to support bringing GM/Cadillac as the 11th
team to the Formula 1 grid in 2026.
Formula 1 has maintained a dialogue with General Motors, and its
partners at TWG Global, regarding the viability of an entry following
the commercial assessment and decision made by Formula 1 in January 2024.
Over the course of this year, they have achieved operational milestones
and made clear their commitment to brand the eleventh team GM/Cadillac,
and that GM will enter as an engine supplier at a later time. Formula 1
is therefore pleased to move forward with this application process and
will provide further updates in due course.

Greg Maffei, President and CEO of Liberty Media:

and interest to the sport.

significant progress in their readiness to enter Formula 1. We are
excited to move forward with the application process for the GM/Cadillac
team to enter the Championship in 2026.”

certain of the full collaboration and support of all the parties involved.”
Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA:
“General Motors is a huge global brand and powerhouse in the OEM world
and is working with impressive partners. I am fully supportive of the
efforts made by the FIA, Formula 1, GM and the team to maintain dialogue
and work towards this outcome of an agreement in principle to progress
this application to bring a GM/Cadillac branded team on the grid for the
2026 FIA Formula One World Championship. All parties, including the FIA,
will continue to work together to ensure the process progresses smoothly.”
