Cadillac: Starting From Zero, Aiming for the Top

Cadillac: Starting From Zero, Aiming for the Top

To close out our 2026 pre-season deep dive for the team side of things, Formula Fools turns to the biggest unknown on the grid: Cadillac Formula 1 Team.


This isn’t a rebrand.

This isn’t a rescue.

This is a full, ground-up Formula 1 entry — something we almost never see anymore.


David and Skin break down how Cadillac, backed by General Motors and TWG Motorsports, became Formula 1’s 11th team and what that actually means in a cost-cap world. From final approval in 2025 to setting up dual operations in Indiana and Silverstone, this is a project built on structure, patience, and serious intent.


We unpack Cadillac’s deliberate early choices: Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas as stabilising veterans, Ferrari power units and gearboxes to set a competitive baseline, and experienced leadership in Graeme Lowdon, supported by engineering heavyweights like Pat Symonds and Nick Chester.


But Cadillac’s real story isn’t about 2026 results — it’s about 2029.


This is a staged entry: earn respect early, learn the sport properly, then flip the switch to a full GM power unit program and become a true works team. That’s the gamble. And it’s a massive one.


This episode asks the only question that really matters:


Can Cadillac survive the hardest years of Formula 1 —

long enough to become genuinely dangerous when the GM engine arrives?


No history. No shortcuts. Just ambition, patience, and the longest runway of any team on the grid.
