General Motors convinced F1 that an 11th team was worth its while, now the U.S. will have its first truly American team on the grid in 50 years.

One team, to be exact. F1 announced on Monday that an agreement in principle has been reached and that a General Motors-Cadillac team will be joining the grid for the 2026 season. The announcement brings to a close months of debate and discussion over a potential 11th team on the grid.

General Motors has a deal to join Formula 1 under the Cadillac brand and participate in the FIA Formula One World Championship for the 2026 season, the automaker announced on Monday. Formula 1 says it has accepted in principle and will move GM and Cadillac's application forward to become the 11th team on the grid — making it the first new team to join since 2016.
