The Cadillac F1 Team unveiled a gray livery in February, showing off the colors that will define the new team throughout its maiden Formula 1 campaign. But the Caddys will look a little different at this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix, celebrating the team’s first race on home soil with red, white and blue paint.
Touted as a “bold expression of Americana,” the Cadillac F1 team’s drivers will wear a scheme featuring 50 stars on the front wings, paired with red, white and blue elements that draw attention to the “USA” emblazoned on the rear wings. The scheme didn’t stray too far from normal black and white teams, but added a touch of national pride.
At the Miami GP – which is scheduled for May 1st until May 3rd2026 – Miami Cadillac F1 team headquarters will host a two-day fan experience at Jungle Plaza. Fans are invited to enjoy local Miami food, try racing simulators, listen to music and will have access to exclusive merchandise not available anywhere else. Attendees can also watch the live stream on Apple TV as it takes place as scheduled.
Drivers Sergio “Checo” Pérez and Valtteri Bottas have had a pretty encouraging season so far through the first three races. Although the team finished at the back of the standings, they recorded only one DNF this season, indicating that the race car did not suffer the mechanical failures common to new efforts.
The Miami GP is the first race in weeks – the Bahrain Grand Prix and Saudi Arabian Grand Prix were canceled due to tensions in the Middle East.
Although Cadillac’s current F1 race cars use Ferrari power units, General Motors says its engine program is on track. The team will be featured in an upcoming docu-series entitled Crew Control featuring Terry Crews.
