Might get F1 teams interested if it means a new engine manufacturer.

They didn't seem very keen on Andretti pulling a Haas.

Here we go, Andretti, GM, Cadillac announce they are partnering for F1 entry:

quote:

Andretti Global and General Motors (GM) have announced their intention to partner on a potential Formula 1 entry following the FIA’s announcement it may invite Expressions of Interest from new teams.


quote:

“General Motors is honored to team with Andretti Global on this historic moment in racing,” said GM president Mark Reuss. “We have a long, rich history in motorsports and engineering innovation, and we are thrilled with the prospect of pairing with Andretti Global to form an American F1 team that will help spur even more global interest in the series and the sport.


quote:

The team would be based out of the United States but with a support facility in the United Kingdom. An entry date is not yet identified as more details are required from the FIA regarding a potential submission.


rumor is herta will be one of the drivers.

GM will not be producing its own power unit for the new 2026 regulations, with the intention to rebadge a current engine, though the door is open for its own in-house production further down the line.

Last year Andretti held discussions with Renault over a supply deal. It is the only present engine manufacturer without a customer team and was one of the few current teams that voiced its support to Andretti’s presence.

However, Honda is also a strong contender.

GM and Honda are both allies and opponents; the parties last year expanded its relationship by collaborating on EVs, expected to go on sale from 2027, while in IndyCar they are competing engine suppliers.

Honda has retained a presence in Formula 1 in spite of its official exit after 2021, keeping branding and visibility with Red Bull Racing and Scuderia AlphaTauri. Honda is interested in Formula 1’s 2026 engine regulations, and recently registered that officially with the FIA, but may not necessarily continue its current relationship with Red Bull. Honda also has history of being willing to allow other companies to re-badge its products.


quote:

Andretti emphasized that “the capabilities that GM have is on the level with any F1 team out there,” and outlined that his own facility will be “one of the most advanced racing facilities in the world when completed.”

Andretti has already “hired the main engineers” and is “very much down the road” on the structure of its technical team. He revealed that a Technical Director has been recruited and an announcement will follow in due course.

Unlike Haas, which has never fielded an American racer, Andretti-Cadillac plans to run at least one American driver.

“I think you know who is leading the pack on that one, with Colton (Herta), we do have him under contract in IndyCar,” said Andretti.

Herta was previously earmarked by Andretti when it was in talks with Sauber in 2021 while last year AlphaTauri attempted to recruit the youngster for 2023 but were thwarted by the FIA’s Super Licence regulations. He would still need to reach the threshold but that is a talking point for further down the line.

feels likes they will just rebadge a honda engine.

However, GM president Mark Reuss has clarified that an agreement has already been reached with a current F1 engine manufacturer to use its power unit initially.
"We have a signed agreement with a power unit supplier to begin with," he said. "And then, as we move forward, we bring a lot of our expertise to create things for the future as well."

RBR/AT still uses their engines, I believe rebranded as RBPT for now. There is talk they will continue to collaborate on the 2026 PU’s, especially since the Porsche deal collapsed.

Ya, I think Honda extended their deal instead of turning it over.

Probably saw some money growth with drive to survive and F1 trying to attract new viewers.

Anybody going to Silverstone this year and need tickets? I've got 2 Club Silverstone Row O tickets. Pricy at $2400 for the pair but that's basically what I have in them.

Max's 2021 WDC had them rethink that when the dollar bills started landing in their lap.

James Vowles from Merc joining Williams as team principal. Interesting move to say the least. Thought he’d be the heir to Toto.
