The arrival of General Motors - Cadillac has created tremendous excitement in Formula 1 circles but what do we know so far and who will drive for them?

General Motors' entry into F1 is the latest, biggest sign of F1's surge in the U.S. — and an opportunity to seize the American fan base.

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.

Starting in 2026, a new set of sporting regulations won't be the only major change coming to Formula 1. As reported by ESPN, Formula 1 has reached an agreement with General Motors to add an 11th team to the grid.

Formula One announced Monday that “an agreement in principle” has been reached “with General Motors to support bringing GM/Cadillac” to the grid as the sport’s 11th team in 2026.

Formula 1 will grow in 2026. General Motors has been granted the permission to become eleventh team in Formula 1 starting 2026, the first new team to join F1 since Haas in 2016. GM/Cadillac will be a new team, with 22 drivers in the starting grid instead of 20.

After a very public failed attempt by Michael Andretti to bring another American team to Formula 1, General Motors has fought through the bureaucracy and politics to join the grid as a works team in 2026. The announcement came this morning after the series just wrapped up the Las Vegas Grand Prix over the weekend.
