Cadillac/General Motors will become the eleventh team on the F1 grid from 2026
The withdrawal of Michael Andretti unblocked the situation
The son of Mario, F1 world champion in 1978, had been trying to enter F1 for several years and had obtained the agreement of the FIA after inviting General Motors to the project. It was finally shortly after the exit of Andretti, whose mannerisms and approach caused a lot of irritation in the paddock, that things unraveled. During the summer Dan Towriss, who had invested in Andretti Global for several years, took full control while Michael Andretti completely left the structure which also enters cars in Indycar and Formula E. Towriss is the owner of 1001 Group, specialized in insurance.
