Cadillac F1 Team: America’s Ambitious Entry into Formula 1

The Cadillac F1 Team will make its long-awaited debut in Formula 1 in 2026, marking a new chapter in the history of motorsport’s pinnacle. With Cadillac - a part of General Motors - joining the grid, F1 gains a major American player at a time when the sport is experiencing tremendous global growth, especially in the United States.

An American Team with Global Ambitions

GM has been attracted to the sport by the new 2026 technical regulations, which focus on sustainability, electrification, and cost control, with the aim of the Cadillac team to eventually compete with the established names like Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull, and McLaren.

Experience and Stability: Bottas and Perez as the Driver Pair

For its debut season, the Cadillac F1 Team has deliberately chosen experience. Valtteri Bottas, a multiple grand prix winner, and Sergio Perez, known for his consistency and racecraft, form a strong and balanced driver duo. Their knowledge of top teams and different car concepts is expected to help Cadillac quickly become competitive in the midfield - and potentially even beyond.
