Italian car manufacturer Ferrari officially confirmed Tuesday that it reached an agreement with General Motors and TWG Global to become the Cadillac F1 team power unit and gearbox supplier from 2026.
The technical collaboration agreement officially announced by Ferrari on Tuesday will see the Italian car manufacturer becoming the power unit and gearbox supplier for the Cadillac F1 team from 2026 when the next-gen hybrid power unit regulations will take effect.
“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,” outlined Frederic Vasseur, Team Principal Scuderia Ferrari HP.
“We are delighted, therefore, that we will be supplying the team with our power unit and gearbox as the basis of this technical collaboration. It means we will continue to have two customer teams in the championship with all the benefits this brings in terms of technical development within Ferrari.”
Last month, Formula 1 announced the series was moving forward with General Motors’ application to join the FIA Formula One World Championship from 2026, initially filed by Andretti Global, controlled by TWG Global.
The 11th outfit in the grid will run under the Cadillac brand, becoming a works team by the end of the decade, building its own power unit.
Graeme Lowdon, Team Principal of the Cadillac Formula 1 Team, led by TWG Global and General Motors, commented: “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.”
Currently, the American entry is pending ratification from the FIA. Therefore, the agreement with Ferrari is subject to the squad’s acceptance and approval.
