Ferrari has confirmed it has reached an agreement to supply the future Cadillac Formula 1 team with power units and gearboxes from 2026.
The General Motors-backed entry that was formerly known as Andretti Cadillac is preparing to be on the grid in just over a year’s time to match up with the start of new aerodynamic regulations. That entry point comes at least two years before GM believes it will have its own power unit ready, meaning it needs a supply deal in the meantime. Ferrari says an agreement is now in place.
“Ferrari N.V. today announces a multi-year agreement starting from 2026 with Andretti Formula Racing LLC, regarding the supply of power unit and gearbox to the racing team led by TWG Global and General Motors, subject to Andretti Formula Racing LLC receiving written confirmation from the FIA – F1 that its entry to the 2026 FIA Formula One Championship has been accepted and approved,” a Ferrari statement read.
The agreement means Cadillac will not need a mandatory supply deal as defined under the F1 sporting regulations, and is another milestone reached before it can receive its official entry from the FIA.
As the Ferrari statement highlights, confirmation of the entry has yet to be provided from the governing body, despite Formula 1’s recent announcement that it is working to add GM as the 11th team in 2026. RACER understands the operating company of Andretti Formula Racing LLC will change as part of the transition to GM branding the team as Cadillac.
GM also confirmed its team principal during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend, with former Manor sporting director and recent advisor Graeme Lowdon chosen to lead the team.
RACER understands GM is already constructing a power unit facility in Charlotte, North Carolina, with the most recent timeline stating its intention is to have its works engine ready by the end of the decade.
