Andretti-Cadillac has convinced the FIA, but will Formula 1 also clear their path to the grid?
Red Bull boss Christian Horner says General Motors joining F1 would be a “massive” boost, but that is if they develop their own power unit.
For Horner, he sees a GM engine as a vital component of what they could bring to the table, referencing the appeal of the “Ford versus GM” rivalry in F1, with Ford having partnered with Red Bull Powertrains for the new generation of power units to be unleashed from F1 2026. “And of course another team coming in, how is that going to be funded? So I think those guys need to get together and come to us with a proposal of what they want.
“I think that’s where Liberty and the FIA need to get together and come to us with a collective position because you can’t have one rule for one, another for others.”F1 team principals: How long has each team boss been in charge? Asked if GM doing their own engine is all that is needed to satisfy Horner, he said: “It’s not just that, I think it’s much more than that.
Horner can see his point, name-dropping Zandvoort, home of the Dutch Grand Prix, as an example, though he returned to the point of all this being a dilemma for Formula 1 and the FIA to tackle, so they can come back to the teams once they have done that.
