As we wrote last week, news has spread in Las Vegas that Andretti, who has been condemned to rejection until now, may in an interesting way, under a different name, still be on the grid in 2026.
And now there's official confirmation that the Formula 1 World Championship field is indeed expanding! Here are the statements from the participants:
"The participation of General Motors and Cadillac in this project is a very important and positive sign and a step forward for the development of our sport. We are excited to see how the project will develop and grow, we are sure that everyone will help them." - said Stefano Domenicali.
“GM is an incredible global brand with amazing partnerships. I personally fully support the joint efforts of the FIA, Formula 1 and General Motors, and we have already worked out an agreement to have the team at the start of the 2026 World Championship. The parties involved are committed and will work together to ensure this process runs smoothly,” said Mohammed ben Sulayem.
“Motorsport is the pinnacle of F1 and as such requires constant innovation from those who participate in it. It is an honor for GM and Cadillac to join this elite, we have long been committed to competing with passion and integrity to take this sport, F1, to the next level. It is a huge global stage and we can showcase GM’s expertise and leading technological influence on a new level.” - set the tone Mark Reuss, leader of the Americans.
