Cadillac will run a stars-and-stripes livery for the British Grand Prix to mark the coincidence of the race weekend falling on July 4 and the celebrations for America's 250th birthday.
Explaining the special livery, Cadillac CEO Dan Towriss said the Fourth of July weekend provides an opportunity for the team to proudly represent the United States on Formula 1's global stage while also helping introduce the sport to new audiences and share its passion with a wider community.
"The 4th of July weekend is a moment for us to show our continued pride in representing the United States on the global stage of F1. We want to use it as an opportunity to allow new communities to discover the sport and share our passion."
Cadillac team principal Graeme Lowdon admitted that the Austrian Grand Prix had been a difficult weekend for the team, while stressing that every outfit on the grid experiences similar setbacks. He explained that Cadillac has worked hard to address the issues, with the upgrades introduced in Spielberg proving positive, and said the aim at Silverstone is to deliver a clean weekend and maximise the car's performance potential.
“The Austrian Grand Prix was a challenge for us – but there is not one team in the pitlane that has not had similar days. We have been working incredibly hard to rectify the issues. We have seen that the upgrades brought to Spielberg were positive, and our objective in Silverstone is to ensure that we have a clean weekend to maximize the performance potential we see. We appreciate it's a big task - especially coming so soon after Austria - but we will take every opportunity to learn, move forward and continue our progress as a team."

McLaren ditches papaya with striking livery for the British Grand Prix

McLaren has also unveiled a special one-off livery for the British Grand Prix, temporarily replacing its iconic papaya colours with a white design inspired by the M2B, the team's first Formula 1 car.
The livery pays tribute to the machine that debuted at the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix, where founder Bruce McLaren scored the team's first championship point, and was created in collaboration with Google Gemini as part of the 'Spark What's Next' campaign. The tribute comes after the team celebrated its 1,000th Formula 1 Grand Prix earlier this season, with the British Grand Prix once again marking one of the most significant weekends on McLaren's calendar.
