      Well, no. The “multi-year” part of the headline is fairly clickbaity as GM will provide its own engines from 28 as planned and Cadillac will be a full works team. But Ferrari will provide engines for '26 and '27 which is technically “multi-year”.

      That is how F1 works. Only Ferrari and Sauber manage to not be partly dependent on/located in the UK.

    I can’t help it… this is still the first thing I think of whenever someone says Cadillac.

      Don’t GM also own the Chevrolet brand? That at least makes me think of a Corvette rather than this beach-boys-mobile!

        I think Chevy is their biggest brand, at least state side, but GM has been pushing Cadillac as a luxury performance brand for at least 20 years now.

          Not that I’ve heard this side of the pond, but hey maybe that’s exactly the reason the new team is being called Cadillac!

    Wasn’t it a Cadillac that leaked oil all over the track at the 2023 Las Vegas GP pre-race?
