Ferrari reserve driver Zhou Guanyu is on the Cadillac Formula One team's radar. Guanyu raced for the Sauber F1 team for three years but was unable to secure a full-time seat for the 2025 season.

The Cadillac team set to debut in Formula One next year has at least six names on a list of potential drivers and will decide on merit, principal Graeme Lowdon said on Monday.

F1 was once Colton Herta's goal; now he's not sure. But the young Andretti Global IndyCar drive also needs to qualify.

Cadillac’s new Formula One team has received final approval from F1 and its governing body, the FIA, to join the grid in 2026. In November, F1 announced it had agreed in principle to allow General Motors, the American car giant, to race from next year with its Cadillac brand, provisionally expanding the field to 11 teams.

Cadillac's Formula 1 team received official approval Friday to join the grid in 2026 and its owners insist the team will be ready to compete.Although the grid expansion was approved last November, it was not until Friday that governing body FIA and Formula One Management said the Cadillac F1 effort meets all the requirements to become the 11th team in the series next season.

Cadillac F1 team principal confirmed that the series' newest team will build its cars out of its state-of-the-art Fishers race shop and team's headquarters.

Cadillac will select an American driver but only if deserving of a spot in the Formula 1 grid, according to team principal Graeme Lowdon.
