Cadillac F1 livery details
American team debuts split black and white livery for 2026 F1 season
Cadillac has already completed one filming day at Silverstone, followed by some initial testing during the recent Barcelona shakedown. But the team used a special test livery for both of those. The official livery was revealed during a TV advertising spot during the Super Bowl, followed by a display at Times Square.
The livery features a split design, with one side predominantly black and the other side predominantly white. The gradient is also made up of multiple Cadillac chevron logos. “This livery represents far more than a paint scheme; it represents who we are and what we bring to Formula 1,’’ said Dan Towriss, CEO of Cadillac Formula 1 Team Holdings.
He added, “Choosing to reveal our first race livery during the Super Bowl and in the heart of Times Square is a way to introduce our identity to the world at the intersection of performance, culture, and entertainment, and to connect with fans in places far beyond the paddock.’’
2026 ushers in a new era for Formula 1 with new cars featuring active aerodynamics and engines with a near 50-50 split between combustion and electric power. This essentially hits the reset button on the grid, which will now feature two new names – Audi and Cadillac – alongside the existing teams.
Cadillac has signed Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas for its F1 debut. Together, they make for one of the most experienced driver pairings on the grid with 526 race starts combined. While the team is currently working on developing its own in house power unit, this only expected to be ready by 2029. In the interim, Cadillac will use Ferrari power units.
The team will now head to Bahrain for more pre-season testing, set to get underway from February 11.
