Cadillac has teased its Formula 1 livery as it approaches its highly anticipated debut on the F1 grid in 2026. The reveal took place at an event during the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, and while there seemed to be nothing to come from the event, fans were finally treated to something.
A New Era for Cadillac in Formula 1
The Miami Grand Prix is the perfect backdrop for Cadillac’s global F1 entry celebration party. The team’s new identity, livery, and vision were teased to an audience of motorsport insiders, celebrities, and fans with the event presented by Terry Crews.
Cadillac’s journey to Formula 1 has been a long one. Originally launched as a partnership between Andretti Global and General Motors, it became a challenge to secure approval from both the FIA and Formula One Management. The team, now racing under the Cadillac name, will use Ferrari power units when it enters the sport in 2026.

“We’re thrilled the Cadillac Formula 1 Team is official, as the team has been accelerating its work,” said GM President Mark Reuss at the time. “We’re incredibly grateful for the support from the FIA and Formula One Management leadership for us and for our collaboration with TWG. The excitement only grows as we get closer to showcasing GM’s engineering expertise on the prestigious global stage of F1.”
The Big Reveal
From the teaser, we can guess that Cadillac will race under the international racing colors of America: Imperial Blue and White. With a sneak peek of the racing suits and a very quick flash of a livery, this only makes us more excited for next year.
What’s Next for Cadillac F1
Cadillac will now continue with the immense challenge of building a competitive team for the 2026 season.
“In the shop, there’s a clock coming down,” said TWG Motorsport CEO Dan Towriss via The Race. “So everybody knows every day that time is not on our side. And so the intensity continues to pick up from that standpoint.
“We had a windtunnel model, but it didn’t have the Pirelli tyres, it had a modelled version of them.
“And so just some of those little differences, and not being able to correlate that to the track, and just the data that that a new team wouldn’t have relative to an existing team.
“All those are going to be challenges which we think we can overcome, but certainly we’re up against that.”
