Formula 1 is on the verge of approving grid expansion for an 11th team, Cadillac F1, spearheaded by Michael Andretti. The team is expected to enter the sport in 2026 with Ferrari engines, and General Motors is set to finalize its Cadillac power unit by the 2028 season.
The decision to expand the grid marks a significant reversal for F1, which initially rejected the application despite FIA approval. The existing 10 teams, who were not consulted, have expressed concerns about dilution in prize money and the substantial investments they have made in the series.
