US car maker General Motors is set to enter Formula 1 as a team owner in 2026.
American car maker General Motors is closing in on securing an entry to Formula 1 as a team owner in 2026.

Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said in Las Vegas on Thursday: "If a team can add to the championship, particularly if GM decides to come in as a team owner, that is a different story.
