Cadillac MAC-26
Cadillac's first Formula One car, whose arrival in 2026 gave the championship eleven teams again.
About the Cadillac MAC-26
The MAC-26 is the first car of the Cadillac Formula 1 Team, whose arrival in 2026 gave Formula One eleven teams for the first time since 2016, after an earlier Andretti-led bid had been vetoed by the Formula One Group. Its name stands for Mario Andretti Cadillac, honouring the 1978 world champion. It uses customer Ferrari 067/6 power units until a General Motors engine arrives, planned for 2029, and is driven by Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas. The car made its debut at the Australian Grand Prix on 8 March 2026, and the team had yet to score a point after the Mexico City Grand Prix.
