Deep dives
Cadillac Joins Formula One as 11th Team
General Motors has reached an agreement with Formula One to introduce Cadillac as the 11th team starting in 2026, much to the surprise of fans who expected Michael Andretti's team to be the one to join. Initially, Andretti's bid faced multiple rejections, including a failed attempt to re-enter as Andretti Cadillac, leading to confusion regarding the team's name and future. With Cadillac's entry, the Andretti name has been largely removed from the narrative, raising questions about the extent of the Andretti family's involvement moving forward. Ultimately, this shift reflects Formula One's preference for established manufacturers over individual team names, as they believe this aligns better with the sport's commercial interests.
