“It would not be a badged engine, because there would be intellectual property from Cadillac in that engine, so that is not a badged engine.” recommends “If we get in, in 2025, there won’t be a new engine yet, so we would have to go with a formula that is used now, but in 2026 there are various things we can do with another engine manufacturer. “It’s a rumour – it’s not true – Cadillac will be very much involved in the manufacturing of the car,” said Andretti in an interview with Forbes. This claim that the power unit for 2026 and beyond would come from another manufacturer with the Cadillac badge on it, was put to Andretti, and firmly dismissed. However, with Formula 1 and the existing teams still seemingly not sold on the prospect, a senior team figure has said that Cadillac’s involvement is more of a “badging exercise”, rather than a full manufacturer commitment, with new power units set to come into play from 2026. The American former racer and now team owner has held a long-term interest in putting a team onto the Formula 1 grid.Īnd after being unsuccessful in his efforts to take over Alfa Romeo, Andretti switched focus to forming a new team, called ‘Andretti Global’.Īnd the project has received a fresh major boost, as after the FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem issued an invitation for ‘expressions of interest’ for new teams to join Formula 1, Andretti announced a partnership with General Motors, which would see their Cadillac brand join this push to enter the series. Michael Andretti has dismissed the rumour that Cadillac would be involved with their Formula 1 project by way of a “badging exercise”.
