General Motors Refuses To Enter Formula 1 Without Andretti

General Motors wants in on the Formula 1 circus, but it won’t back down on one thing: its partnership with Andretti Autosport.

The Andretti-Cadillac deal has been up in the air since it was announced that the FIA gave Andretti Autosport permission to join the Formula 1 grid. At the time of the announcement, GM and Cadillac were not mentioned, which may have been due to the UAW strike and its impact on GM’s ability to commit money to projects lie F1. But it has now been confirmed that GM is still very much involved.

In an interview with Associated Press (AP), GM said it’s still committed to the partnership and has no intentions of getting involved with another team. This comes shortly after the Formula One group reportedly asked Caddy not to partner with Andretti.

“GM is committed to partnering with Andretti to race in F1,” said GM President Mark Reuss. “The collaboration between Andretti-Cadillac brings together two unique entities built for racing, both with long pedigrees of success.”
