Cadillac has unveiled the livery they will use for their first on-track appearance as a Formula 1 team, with the design set to debut at the opening 2026 pre-season test in Barcelona later this month.
The scheme is dominated by exposed carbon fibre, with a bold Cadillac emblem stretching across the rear of the car. In a nod to the project’s origins, the names of the team’s founding members are written across the chassis, forming a key visual element of the design.
This initial look is not the final version fans will see in competition. Cadillac plans to reveal its definitive race livery during the Super Bowl on February 8, which will then be used at the two remaining pre-season tests in Bahrain and throughout the 2026 F1 season.
When announcing the Barcelona running on Tuesday, Cadillac described the private test as a “shakedown week”, underlining its role as an initial systems check rather than a full performance programme.
The Barcelona test is scheduled to take place from January 26–30, with two further test sessions following in Bahrain on February 11–13 and February 18–20.
Additional pre-season running has been added due to sweeping new technical regulations, giving teams additional track time to prepare for the season-opening round in Australia, which runs from March 6–8.
