💨 Abstract

The Ford vs. Cadillac rivalry in Formula 1 is heating up even before the 2026 season begins. Cadillac, backed by General Motors, is joining the grid this year, while Ford is partnering with Red Bull. Cadillac's Dan Towriss criticized Ford's involvement as a mere "branding exercise," but Ford's executives, Bill Ford and Jim Farley, dismissed these claims. Ford emphasized their technical partnership with Red Bull, manufacturing powertrain parts.
