In the meantime, we continue to optimistically prepare should we be fortunate enough to have Andretti Cadillac formally approved as a Formula 1 contender.“We are continuing to grow Andretti Global and its family of racing teams and always have our eyes on what’s next,” said Michael Andretti. "Together, we will continue to follow procedures and steps put forth by the FIA during the evaluation process. I'm proud to have GM and Cadillac alongside us as we pursue this goal," said Michael Andretti, Chairman, and CEO, of Andretti Global. I feel very strongly that we are suited to be a new team for Formula One and can bring value to the series and our partners, and excitement for the fans. "We are continuing to grow Andretti Global and its family of racing teams and always have our eyes on what's next. Our brand has a motorsports pedigree that's more than a century in the making, and we would be proud to have the opportunity to bring our distinct American innovation and design to F1." "Cadillac and F1 both have growing global appeal. "General Motors is honored to team with Andretti Global on this historic moment in racing," said Mark Reuss, President of General Motors. Andretti Cadillac will submit its Expression of Interest once the FIA formally opens the process. This somewhat left-field announcement follows a day after the FIA's president announced a new Expression of Interest process to get more manufacturers on the grid. And we thought the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing was as good as it's ever going to get before the brand switches over to electrification. GM wants to push Cadillac as a racier brand and has spent millions developing an LMDh car to compete in the 100th running of Le Mans later this year.
The team also plans to hit the grid with at least one American driver.Īndretti Autosport noticed the growth in F1's popularity in the USA months ago, and now it has the full support of a brand with an impressive motorsport pedigree. Should it be given the go-ahead, the team will be known as Andretti Cadillac and will be based in the USA with a support facility in the United Kingdom. Andretti Global and General Motors have announced their intent to compete in Formula 1, representing the Cadillac brand.
