Cadillac Barcelona Test Livery Revealed

Cadillac unveiled the temporary livery of its single-seater for Formula 1 pre-season testing in Barcelona at the end of January.

The most recent team on the grid will be present at the tests with a discreet livery, with only black and silver colors, specifically for this initial phase of testing. The design incorporates the Cadillac emblem and also includes, on the nose of the single-seater, the names of the founding members of the team in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Cadillac is preparing to enter the championship as the 11th team and will feature drivers Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez. Under the leadership of Graeme Lowdon, the structure operates from bases in Silverstone and the United States.

The exclusive decoration for these tests was presented by General Motors CEO, Mark Reuss, at the company’s headquarters in Detroit. Reuss explained that this option follows the F1 pre-season tradition, in which teams seek to disguise their cars’ aerodynamic solutions as much as possible.

Cadillac’s definitive livery for the 2026 season will be revealed on February 8, during a Super Bowl halftime commercial. The presentation precedes the official start of pre-season testing in Bahrain.
