In a multi-year deal starting in 2026, Ferrari will provide engines and transmissions to a new Cadillac Formula One team, with pending final entry approval. When Sauber joins Audi as the factory team, supply will become available and it will mark the beginning of a new engine era for the sport.
According to Ferrari, the contract with Andretti Formula Racing LLC was subject to formal confirmation from Formula One and the governing FIA that the 2026 entry had been permitted. The Liberty Media-owned sport announced last month a preliminary agreement for the General Motors-supported team to join as an 11th entry.
Additionally, General Motors has registered as a power unit manufacturer with the FIA in order to become a full works outfit by the end of the decade. As stated by F1 sources, General Motors and its partners TWG Global have agreed to pay $450 million in anti-dilution fees in order to access entry. This will be divided among the 10 current terms.
It is known that Ferrari also provides engines to their own world team and U.S.-owned Haas. Furthermore, the last U.S. world champion in 1978, Mario Andretti, will serve as the director of the team’s board.
