  • Formula 1 on Monday at last said it will expand its grid in 2026 to make room for an American team that is partnered with General Motors.

Formula 1 has announced an expansion of its grid to include General Motors' Cadillac brand and a new American team, Andretti Global, starting in 2026. This move marks the return of an American team to F1, aiming to leverage Cadillac's engineering prowess and Andretti's racing heritage. The partnership will see the development of a new power unit by GM, aligning with F1's new engine regulations set for that year. This expansion is part of F1's strategy to grow its presence in the U.S., where interest in the sport has been rapidly increasing, evidenced by the addition of a third U.S. Grand Prix in Las Vegas. The inclusion of Cadillac and Andretti is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the sport, enhancing its appeal in the American market and globally.
