GM’s luxury brand, Cadillac, receive final approval from FIA and Formula 1 to join the Grid in 2026 as 11th Team.

Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, said:
“As we said in November, the commitment by General Motors to bring a Cadillac team to Formula 1 was an important and positive demonstration of the evolution of our sport.
“I want to thank GM and TWG Motorsports for their constructive engagement over many months and look forward to welcoming the team on the grid from 2026 for what will be another exciting year for Formula 1.”
