Cadillac’s Miami F1 Homecoming Pairs Big Fan Push With First Major Upgrade

The GM-backed newcomer remains without points early in its debut season on Ferrari power.

Overview

  • At the Miami Grand Prix, Cadillac ran a free two-day fan event at Jungle Plaza with sponsors Jim Beam and Tommy Hilfiger and an appearance by Sergio Perez, plus airport ads and a display at Hard Rock Stadium.
  • The team rolled out a re-profiled underbody and a new front wing in Miami, and the team principal said the updates worked as planned and let the car fight Aston Martin on pace.
  • Through the first four races of 2026, the operation has not scored a championship point and is focused on steady gains rather than quick results.
  • Cadillac is racing with Ferrari power units for now as General Motors develops its own Formula 1 engine package.
  • To link the race effort to road cars, GM CEO Mary Barra unveiled a 26-unit CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series performance sedan.
