Cadillac has officially joined the Formula 1 limelight with the unveiling of its team logo in preparation for its much-awaited entry in the 2026 season.

Cadillac has made its 2026 Formula 1 debut statement with the logo reveal and a direct stance on driver merit

Leading the next campaign is Team Principal Graeme Lowdon , a seasoned name in the Formula 1 universe after time with now-extinct Manor Racing. Lowdon will have the squad campaign on Ferrari power units in the beginning before moving over to GM Performance Power Units starting in 2029—and this following a nod of approval from the FIA as an official F1 engine supplier last week.
“We were effectively kept out of the last round of driver discussions because we didn’t have an entry and were in a slightly unusual position, but it also means there is a lot less competitive tension, and we can take a little bit of time. Everyone would love to see an American driver in an American team with an American engine, but this is also a world championship," said Lowdon to Sky Sports F1. “We have to select everybody on merit, and as we have said before, there is nothing stopping a boy or girl with an American passport from driving for an American Formula 1 team. We’ll select them on merit, and if the driver happens to be an American, that is something the fans would really like. But we’ve got to respect the world championship, and if we want to be competitive as we can, we must choose everyone in the team on merit."
