General Motors and Cadillac face a “monumental task” to get ready to compete in Formula 1 for 2026, even if they could in theory get a head start on some design work, leading series figures said on Friday.

“It’s a monumental task to try now setting up a team for 2026, with also a completely different set of regulations,” Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack said at the Qatar Grand Prix. “So even if there was a small head start, I think it will balance out very quickly.” There has been plenty of speculation about what the GM-backed team has been up to as it prepares to join the grid. Last year, when Michael Andretti was still the face of the project, the team built a car to 2023 regulations for wind tunnel testing. GM, which is hiring staff for a facility near the Silverstone circuit in England, is expected to use Ferrari engines until its own Cadillac engine is ready in 2028.
