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.

Formula 1 will expand the grid in 2026 to make room for an American team that is partnered with General Motors.

The Cadillac F1 team will initially be a customer team in 2026—with its engine supply to be determined. Cadillac is expected to produce its own Formula 1 engines by 2028. GM president Mark Reuss said: “As the pinnacle of motorsports, F1 demands boundary-pushing innovation and excellence.
