As we already wrote last week, rumors have been circulating in Las Vegas that the Andretti, so far doomed to rejection, could finally be present on the 2026 starting grid thanks to an interesting change.
And now, official confirmation has arrived: the Formula 1 World Championship field will indeed expand! Here are the statements from those involved:
"The participation of General Motors and Cadillac in this project is a very important and positive sign, and it is promising for the development of our sport. We are looking forward to seeing how the project will develop and grow, we are convinced that everyone will help them," said Stefano Domenicali.
“GM is an incredible global brand with impressive partnerships. I fully support the joint effort between the FIA, Formula 1, and General Motors, and we have already developed an agreement for the team to be present at the start of the 2026 world championship. The parties are committed and will work together to ensure this process runs smoothly,” said Mohammed bin Sulayem.
“The pinnacle of motorsports is F1, and as such, it demands continuous innovation from those who participate in it. It’s an honor that GM and Cadillac can join this elite; we have a long-standing commitment to elevating the sport, F1, to a higher level with passion and integrity. It’s a huge global stage, and we’ll be able to showcase GM’s technical expertise and leading technological influence on a new level,” said Mark Reuss, the head of the American team.
