General Motors strikes deal to bring Cadillac to F1 in 2026

China Daily  

General Motors plans to enter Formula One with its Cadillac brand in 2026 after announcing an agreement in principle with the Liberty Media-owned sport on Monday. "My first love was Formula One, and, now, 70 years later, the F1 paddock is still my happy place," said Andretti in a Cadillac statement. "With Formula One's continued growth plans in the US, we have always believed that welcoming an impressive US brand like Cadillac to the grid and GM as a future power unit supplier could bring additional value and interest to the sport," said Liberty Media's outgoing CEO Greg Maffei. Formula One had said in January that it doubted the original Andretti bid would be competitive or add value, but kept a door open for 2028, when partner General Motors could provide an engine.
