Ferrari Poised to Power General Motors’ Cadillac F1 Team in 2026 – Mario Andretti Confirms Talks and With Colton Herta Tipped as Driver

Ferrari has officially confirmed a multi-year partnership to supply power units and gearboxes for the Cadillac Formula 1 team, set to debut in 2026. The historic agreement cements a key technical relationship as Cadillac, backed by General Motors (GM) and TWG Global, prepares to join the F1 grid under a revamped Andretti Formula Racing LLC banner.

A Strategic Milestone for Ferrari and Cadillac

The announcement follows intense speculation about who would provide engines for the U.S.-based team during its initial two years before GM unveils its own power unit in 2028. Ferrari, leveraging its decades of experience, steps in to fill this crucial gap. The Italian team emphasized the agreement is contingent on FIA and Formula One Management’s formal approval of Cadillac’s entry into the championship.

In its statement, Ferrari highlighted, “This agreement signifies our commitment to advancing the competitive spirit of Formula 1 while fostering innovation alongside new and ambitious participants.”

Cadillac’s Accelerated F1 Push

The Cadillac team has been fast-tracking preparations since General Motors and TWG Global secured an agreement in principle with Formula 1 after the Las Vegas Grand Prix in November. This deal comes as Cadillac builds its infrastructure and personnel to match the intensity and complexity of Formula 1.

Key Players Driving the Vision

Under the leadership of Team Principal Graeme Lowdon, the Cadillac F1 project has already assembled a powerhouse roster. Notable names include:

  • Pat Symonds, former F1 Chief Technical Officer, joining as Executive Engineering Consultant.
  • Nick Chester, GM’s Technical Director and former Renault stalwart.
  • Rob White, Chief Operating Officer with deep roots in motorsport engineering.

The team is also leveraging a state-of-the-art facility in Silverstone, where hundreds of hires are focused on developing the 2026 chassis prototype.

Ferrari’s Role and the Transition to GM Power

With this agreement, Ferrari steps into a pivotal role, not just as a supplier but as an enabler of Cadillac’s entry into the pinnacle of motorsport. GM’s intention to introduce its own power unit by 2028 adds an intriguing layer to this partnership, signaling Cadillac’s long-term ambitions to transition into a full works team.

The Bigger Picture

This deal highlights the growing presence of American brands in Formula 1, underscored by Cadillac’s ambitious plans and Ferrari’s willingness to extend its expertise. As Formula 1 continues to expand its global footprint, this partnership represents a blend of European legacy and American innovation that could reshape the competitive landscape.

Cadillac’s entry, bolstered by Ferrari’s technical prowess, promises to bring fresh energy to the grid. Fans and industry insiders alike are already speculating about the team’s potential to make an immediate impact when the lights go out in 2026.
