General Motors’ Cadillac Prepares For 2026 Formula One Debut

General Motors' Cadillac is preparing to debut in Formula One in 2026 as the sport's first new constructor since 2016, partnering with Ferrari for engines initially and aiming to develop their own engines by the decade's end. The team has established bases in the U.S. and the U.K., with a management structure designed to foster close technical collaboration, likened to the moon landing effort. Cadillac's entry coincides with Audi also joining F1, expanding the grid to 11 teams and sparking significant interest in the 2026 season driver line-ups. Former McLaren driver Juan Pablo Montoya recommends Cadillac sign experienced drivers Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas for their inaugural season, proposing a one-year contract to build the team foundation before transitioning to younger talent. Reports indicate Perez is close to confirming his seat with Cadillac for next year, while the second driver spot remains open with several candidates linked. Cadillac's entry marks a major U.S. automotive push in global motorsport, leveraging Formula One's expanding presence, especially in the United States.
