Back to EpisodesF1's New Era: Cadillac & Alpine Join Grid
Description
Formula One is set to expand to eleven teams on the grid for the first time in a decade, with Cadillac making its debut in twenty twenty-six. This growth highlights the sports deep roots, from legendary outfits like Ferrari, which has raced every season since nineteen fifty, to McLaren, founded by Bruce McLaren in nineteen sixty-three after his own driving career. Many teams have evolved through multiple name changes and ownership shifts, such as Mercedes, which traces back to Tyrrell in nineteen seventy, and Red Bull, which started as Stewart Grand Prix in nineteen ninety-seven. Fans cherish these histories for the drama and triumphs theyve delivered. Newer squads like Haas and Racing Bulls also add fresh chapters. Cadillac, backed by General Motors, has ramped up preparations with a Silverstone base, Ferrari engines until their own in twenty twenty-nine, and veterans like Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez. Alpine rounds out the grid, shifting from Toleman and Benetton—where Schumacher won titles—to its current French identity, chasing past glories.
