FERRARI BAGS CADILLAC FOR FORMULA 1

General Motors will be a Ferrari customer when it enters Formula One in 2026.

The Ferrari deal is essential for the upcoming Cadillac program, as GM will not have its own powerplant until 2028.

The new deal will see GM/Cadillac take over the Ferrari supply from Sauber, which is set to become the official Audi team – complete with its own powerplant package – at the start of 2026.

Ferrari has confirmed the new deal, which was predicted by Race.news on November 27 when the GM grand prix entry was confirmed by Formula One.

It will cover the Italian team's powerplant and gearbox.

It is described by Ferrari as a 'technical collaboration' and has been welcomed by Graeme Lowdon, the newly-named team principal of Cadillac Formula 1 Team led by TWG Global and General Motors.

"We are thrilled to partner with Ferrari as the power unit and gearbox supplier for our Cadillac team, bringing together two remarkable legacies. Choosing the right power unit partner is crucial, and we trust in Ferrari’s passion, excellence and the exceptional capabilities of their people," said Lowdon.

"It’s great to see the commitment of another American team, backed by one of the most highly respected marques in the motor industry, at a time when Formula 1 is increasing in popularity in the United States," said Frédéric Vasseur, Ferrari team principal.
