While there is hope that Mercedes might start to put some pressure on Verstappen and Red Bull, thanks to recent upgrades to the W14, only time will tell if their double podium in Barcelona was a one-off, or a sign that they have finally turned the corner. A race week begins, Max Verstappen looks dominant in practice, qualifies up front, and then pulls away from the field on Sunday.

Either way, if GM and Andretti do make it to F1, you can bet there'll be a special edition of the Cadillac Lyriq to celebrate.The 2023 Formula 1 season has begun to take on an air of repetition. Perhaps Cadillac will design an entire unit perhaps Cadillac will help with something like a turbocharger perhaps Cadillac will be no more than a marketing partner. And even then, 'whether we to and what elements yet to be determined,' said Warren. Renault/Alpine has also been rumored to be Andretti's partner, but its performance in F1 has not been very convincing for many years.Īn F1 power unit program is expensive, so the team would will first wait to see how a third-party power unit performs before undertaking the design and manufacture of its own unit.

Warren reiterated that constructing power units is something GM is looking at but added that 'Andretti has a power unit partner with which we can get racing quickly.' Andretti has a strong relationship with Honda through Wayne Taylor Racing, and GM is collaborating with the Japanese brand on EVs, so it seems a good fit.
