Cadillac debuts in Formula 1 at the 2026 Miami Grand Prix, pairing reliability with a bold Stars and Stripes livery that cements intent and identity.
The new team contests its first home race before a packed Miami crowd, leveraging existing US brand recognition to accelerate fan engagement.
Weeks into its campaign, Cadillac brings updates after Japan, seeking stable correlation and edging towards the midfield under this season’s new regulations.
The Miami livery integrates the flag within Cadillac’s black and white palette, with 50 stars on the front wing and matching suits for Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas.
Front wing carries 50 stars, spotlighting Cadillac’s home-race message.
Chief brand advisor Cassidy Towriss characterises the look as confident and unambiguous, a statement designed to resonate with American fans.
Off-track, a Nike Dunk Low collaboration extends the identity push, strengthening merchandising appeal and connecting the team with mainstream culture.
Ambassador Terry Crews launches the ‘Crews Control’ YouTube series on May 5, offering behind-the-scenes access across F1, IndyCar, and NASCAR via TWG Motorsports.
On track, progress is measurable. Sergio Perez finishes the Sprint ahead of Alex Albon and Lance Stroll, then again outperforms Aston Martin on Sunday.
Perez beats both Aston Martins across the Miami weekend.
Perez and Bottas complete the 57-lap Grand Prix, securing a third consecutive double finish that underscores an encouraging reliability base.
That consistency buys setup mileage and validation time while development continues, informing priority upgrades and deployment timing.
Valtteri Bottas describes the project as motivating, emphasising steady, sustainable gains that embed Cadillac within the midfield fight.
CEO Dan Towriss notes the lift from racing before home fans and the platform offered by three US rounds this season.
Three US races amplify Cadillac’s connection with home fans.
Short term, the target is pragmatic: trim deficit to established midfield runners and turn clean weekends into points chances.
With experienced drivers, coherent branding, and steady upgrades, Cadillac leaves Miami with momentum and a clearer reference for the next phase.
