General Motors considers supplying engines in F1 from 2027

General Motors is considering an entry into Formula 1. The US company is looking at options to become an engine supplier in F1 from 2027.

Unlike its US rival Ford, GM would like to build its own engine entirely. Ford will partner with Red Bull Racing from 2026. In this partnership, Ford will focus only on the electric side of the power unit, where Red Bull Powertrains will focus on the internal combustion engine.

Registrations for engine suppliers for 2026 in Formula 1 have already expired, so GM can only make an entry from 2027. GM includes Cadillac, which is a partner of the Andretti team, which also wants to make an entry into the king class. "GM is motivated to be involved in the car and in the design, in the whole process. The interaction between Cadillac and Andretti will affect the whole vehicle," Eric Warren, executive director of GM Motorsport, told Motorsport.com.

Andretti-Cadillac is targeting an entry into F1 in 2025, so if it succeeds, it would have to make do with a customer engine in the first two years. Alpine has already indicated that it does want to provide the new team with engines. A logical step for the American team would then be to run with their own engines from 2027, making it an all-American formation.
