Michael Andretti believes the “strong addition” of General Motors
as a Formula 1 power unit supplier will be key to Andretti Global’s
grid entry. The American OEM announced that it would be joining F1
as a supplier from the 2028 season under the Cadillac brand,
becoming the seventh among Red Bull-Ford, Ferrari, Honda, Mercedes,
Alpine-Renault and Audi. There has been stiff opposition among
existing teams over the value Andretti can bring to F1, however
this announcement marks an important step in their partnership with
Andretti. Andretti is currently undergoing “commercial discussions”
with the Commercial Rights Holder, Formula One Management, which
will be the final hurdle before it gets the green light to join the
grid. Speaking on X, formerly known as Twitter, Andretti said: “The
GM PU will be a strong addition to F1. We are proud the Andretti
Cadillac partnership will make this possible. “Our commitment to
excellence will not be taken lightly as we continue planning to
enter F1 as soon as possible and, in 2028, Andretti Cadillac will
compete as a true American works team. “This historic partnership
will accelerate the sport in the fast-growing US market as well as
globally.” 1724494291064521079?s=61&t=TTwXvsFynROu1buiZAkKcQ
