Confirmation of the entry of the Luxury brand of the American car GM Sport means that the Formula One network will expand to 11 teams compared to next year.
Last November, it was announced that Cadillac was in principle to have an agreement to join GRID as part of the revised offer of GM cooperation with the American TWG Motorsports group, which shows General Motors dedicated to running his own engine until the end of the decade.
Before his work engine is ready to use, the Cadillac team provided a contract for the initial launch of Ferrari engine and gearbox since its first season in the December agreement.
GM founded its own company for the development of its first F1 power unit.
The short joint statement was: “Fia and Formula 1 can confirm that, after the end of their sports, technical and commercial assessments, the application of General Motors is TWG Motorsports to bring the Cadillac team to FIA Formula One World Cup from 2026.”
F1 President Stefano Domenicali said: “As we said in November, General Motors’ obligation to bring the Cadillac team in Formula 1 is an important and positive demonstration of our sport evolution.
“I want to thank GM -ui Twg for the constructive engagement for many months and I look forward to welcoming the team on the network of 2026 on what will be another exciting year for Formula 1.”
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulaya said: “Today he marks the transformative moment, and I am proud to have led the Federation in this progressive step for the championship.
“Formula 1 championship on the 11th team 2026 is a turning point. GM/Cadillac brings fresh energy, aligning with the new FIA 2026 regulations and bringing in an exciting time for sports.
“The presence of the Cadillac Formula One team in Paddock will encourage future competitors and fans. Their intake strengthens our mission to push the motorport borders at the highest level.”
Dan Towriss is the Executive Director of the Newly Estated Hand of Twg Global, TWG Motorsports, which is already leading different entities across the World Motorsport, while British Graeme Lowdon, former Sport Director of the TIMA Marussia, Cadillac CEO of Cadillac.
Although the F1 originally rejected the initial version of the offer, which was approved and put to the final consideration by FIA, to join the network before 2028 when it was submitted under the name Andretti with GM in January 2024, the sport left the open door to consider the revised proposal.
It is understood that the greater subsequent commitment to the General Motors – which is one of the main three American carkers – the construction of his own engine for the future and contract of performing a buyer from the existing F1 manufacturer during the intervention period to avoid mandatory arrangement for supply to decisive in another iteration of the role of the ticket.
Mario Andretti, an American race legend and world champion F1 1978, remains part of the project as an advisor.
