🚨| F1 imposes limits on Cadillac ahead of 2026 season:

— Cadillac is preparing for its entry into Formula 1 in 2026, but faces strict limitations on testing, development, and compliance with regulations.

— The team began developing its car after reaching an agreement in principle with Formula One Management in November 2024. Starting January 1, 2025, Cadillac must operate under the 2026 regulations.

— Unlike established teams, Cadillac’s 2025 budget can be allocated more toward preparing for its debut, though much will also go toward building staff and facilities.

— Changes to the 2026 regulations, introduced after Cadillac’s agreement, include:

• Significant revisions to aerodynamic rules.

• Adjustments to energy deployment in power units and their testing.

• Revisions to financial regulation interpretation by the FIA.

— Cadillac’s early development may need significant revisions to comply with these updated regulations.

— The team benefits from not introducing its own power unit yet, avoiding complications in intellectual property protections and development timelines.
