Ferrari agrees to supply Cadillac with F1 power units

A supply will become available then due to Sauber becoming the Audi factory team in what will be the start of a new engine era for the sport.

Ferrari said the agreement with Andretti Formula Racing LLC was subject to written confirmation from the governing FIA and Formula One that the entry for 2026 had been accepted and approved.

The Liberty Media-owned sport announced last month an agreement in principal for the General Motors-backed team to become an 11th entry.

General Motors has also registered with the FIA as a power unit manufacturer to become a full works outfit by the end of the decade.

Mario Andretti, the last U.S. world champion in 1978, will serve as a director on the team's board.

GM and partners TWG Global have agreed to pay an anti-dilution fee, split between the 10 existing teams, of $450m to secure the entry, according to F1 sources.

Ferrari also provide engines to their own works team and U.S.-owned Haas.

Ferrari is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with General Motors and TWG Global to supply the Cadillac Formula 1 Team with its power unit and gearbox starting in 2026*.

Frédéric Vasseur, Team Principal Scuderia Ferrari HP, said: "It’s great to see the commitment of another American team, backed by one of the most highly respected marques in the motor industry, at a time when Formula 1 is increasing in popularity in the United States. We are delighted therefore that we will be supplying the team with our power unit and gearbox as the basis of this technical collaboration. It means we will continue to have two “customer teams” in the championship with all the benefits this brings in terms of technical development within Ferrari."

Graeme Lowdon, Team Principal of Cadillac Formula 1 Team led by TWG Global and General Motors, added: "We are thrilled to partner with Ferrari as the power unit and gearbox supplier for our Cadillac team, bringing together two remarkable legacies. Choosing the right power unit partner is crucial, and we trust in Ferrari’s passion, excellence and the exceptional capabilities of their people.
