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.

A Cadillac team is set to be part of Formula 1 racing in 2026, and it won't just be the American luxury brand's name on the cars competing against the likes of Ferrari and Mercedes in coming years.

Formula 1 and General Motors have reached an agreement for the automaker to join the world’s most prestigious racing championship starting in 2026. The new outfit will likely be branded Cadillac and will be the competition’s 11th team.
