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.

Mario Andretti will be serving on the board of the brand new Formula One team that will be fielded by General Motors with its Cadillac brand.

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