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 yearslong battle between the league and former driver Michael Andretti, who initially proposed the new team.

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

General Motors/Cadillac will be the eleventh team on the F1 grid from 2026 onwards, after paying an anti-dilution fee.

General Motors Co. and TWG Global said Monday they’ve reached a tentative agreement where GM will have an 11 th team in the global Formula One racing series starting in 2026. The new F1 team will be branded as Cadillac. It would be the first new F1 team since 2016. Each F1 team has two racing cars.

Formula 1 is set to expand its grid in 2026, introducing an American team backed by General Motors. The team will operate under the Cadillac F1 name and initially use Ferrari engines. The expansion follows a long-standing debate and will eventually see Cadillac provide its own engines by 2028.

Formula 1 has reached an agreement in principle with American car giant General Motors for its Cadillac brand to join the F1 grid as a new 11th team from 2026.
