GM Motorsports executive director of competition Dr. Eric Warren has helped lead the Andretti Cadillac F1 project and said the FIA has indicated a decision by July 15.
Who on the grid does? Ferrari, Alpine, Honda, and Mercedes build engines, outside of that the rest of the teams are building tightly regulated cars. Andretti is one of the biggest names in American motorsport, they’re attempting to bring in a new engine supplier and one of the biggest car companies in the world, and they have the money to do it. What more can be reasonably asked of them?

No they are not bringing a new engine supplier. That’s the whole point. They bring a new title sponsor. It’s nothing more than Alfa Romeo with sauber.
GM has stated plans to build their own Cadillac-badged F1 engine starting in 2026, provided the bid gets approved.
