A Cadillac team is set to compete in Formula One in 2026, with racing legend Mario Andretti playing a key role.

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.

Starting in 2026, a new set of sporting regulations won't be the only major change coming to Formula 1. As reported by ESPN, Formula 1 has reached an agreement with General Motors to add an 11th team to the grid.

Team name will be under General Motors' Cadillac brand as Andretti no longer operationally involved in entry bid.
