Cadillacthe newest Formula 1 team, will appear at the Barcelona pre-season test sporting a new special livery.
Cadillac is joining F1 as the 11th expansion team in 2026, fielding cars for returning veterans as well as champions Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez.
The team, led by experienced Graeme Lowdonhas just revealed its first F1 livery — a special color scheme that will be used during the F1 shakedown in Barcelona at the end of January.
The livery, unveiled by General Motors CEO Mark Reuss at the company’s headquarters in Detroit, features a sleek, stealthy monochromatic color scheme dominated by black and silver.
“Our new test livery celebrates Detroit’s design heritage and the strength of the global Cadillac Formula 1 team, while keeping our design secrets under wraps,” Reuss said.
It is worth noting that Cadillac’s definitive 2026 race livery will be revealed on February 8 during an announcement at halftime of the Super Bowl, just before the official start of pre-season testing in Bahrain.
“The Barcelona test is just the beginning — we can’t wait to share our official race livery with fans around the world next month,” Reuss added.
“The debut of our race livery during a global television broadcast challenges convention and brings Cadillac to a worldwide audience,” said Dan Towriss, CEO of the Cadillac team.
“Combined with this special test livery, created by GM’s design studios, we are honoring our automotive heritage while looking ahead to the future and the 2026 season.”
Earlier this month, Cadillac announced that former Sauber driver Zhou Guanyu will serve as a reserve driver in 2026.
Meanwhile, Colton Hertathe former IndyCar star, will compete in F2 as preparation for a potential future in Formula 1 with the Cadillac team.
