Formula 1 didn’t want them. The teams rejected them. FOM said no.
So how did Cadillac and Andretti force their way onto the F1 grid for 2026?

This is the untold story of The American Team That Broke Formula 1.

In this video, we dive into the explosive saga behind Cadillac's F1 entry — from brutal rejections and billion-dollar barriers to U.S. political pressure and a $450M power play that changed everything. It’s not just about joining the grid — it’s about how Andretti and General Motors stormed the F1 gates with full factory backing and refused to take no for an answer.

Inside, we’ll cover:

Why F1 originally rejected Andretti and called them “not valuable enough”

How Cadillac’s entry flipped the script on the entire paddock

The political firestorm that reached the U.S. Senate and Department of Justice

The real technical plan to win — not just participate — with a Cadillac power unit by 2029

Who could be driving for America’s team in 2026 (Herta? Pérez? O’Ward?)

From backroom politics to industrial war games, this isn’t just a team story — it’s a motorsport revolution.
