“Cadillac and F1 have growing global appeal. Our brand has a motorsports pedigree that is over a century in the making, and we would be proud of the opportunity to bring our distinctive American innovation and design to F1.” he added.
The American Colton Herta, Andretti driver in the IndyCar, is the main candidate for that steering wheel. The president of the International Automobile Federation (FIA), Mohammed bin Sulayem, celebrated and “welcomed” the news of the agreement between GM and Andretti, with a message on his Twitter account.
