General Motors' Cadillac Formula 1 team completed its first laps on the track, marking a significant step for the new American-based entry. The team is set to join the F1 grid in 2026, expanding the competition to 11 teams.
The GM-backed entry announced its driver lineup for the debut 2026 season. Valtteri Bottas and Sergio 'Checo' Perez will drive for the team.
The team detailed its power unit strategy, confirming it will initially use Ferrari engines through the 2028 season. Plans call for the introduction of a proprietary GM-developed power unit starting in 2029.
The team's progress continues with a subsequent shakedown scheduled in Barcelona.
