General Motors strikes deal to bring Cadillac to F1 in 2026

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.

Hailing a landmark move to become the 11th team on the starting grid, the carmaker said that it had also registered with the governing FIA as a power unit manufacturer to become a full works outfit by the end of the decade.

It will be the first new team since US-owned Haas debuted in 2016, and GM the sixth engine maker after Audi, Ferrari, Honda, Mercedes and Red Bull-Ford.
