Had me interested until “Ferrari Powered” appeared in the article. I don’t see how they can call it a Cadillac, although future cars will be GM powered. Until then, well, it’s a Cadafari imho.

This year about half of the teams were running engines from Ferrari, Mercedes or Honda. The teams all have to build their own chassis. F1 held off admitting the Cadillac team until the last minute so they are getting a late start, but will join the list of engine suppliers too, in 2029.

“future cars will be GM powered”

YEARS in the future. They need new engines to roll off the assembly line? WTH? F1 engines aren’t production engines.

As mentioned above there are not too many engine manufactures in F1.

In F1 teams are named by the factory name first then the engine manufacturer (if applicable) second.

Examples:

McClaren Mercedes (the 2025 constructors champion)

— which used Mercedes power in a better chassis —

Mercedes

Ferrari

Red Bull Honda

Red Bull is working to have their own power plant in the next few years just like Cadillac.
