KEEP UP WITH CHECO

Nine-time NTT INDYCAR® SERIES race winner Colton Herta will serve as a test driver as the Cadillac Formula 1 Team prepares to join the grid. For Herta, 25, the 2026 season will mark a return to the European racing ranks, as the second-generation racer made his European racing debut in 2015. 

Coming off his seventh INDYCAR season, Herta has recorded nine wins, 16 pole positions and led over 1,000 laps in his 116 career starts. He also holds the title of youngest driver to win an INDYCAR SERIES race and pole position, a feat he achieved in 2019 at the Circuit of The Americas™—home of the F1 United States Grand Prix. 

The Cadillac Formula 1 Team unveiled its new logo in a video released ahead of the 2025 Miami Grand Prix held May 4, 2025. The video is the public’s first look at the branding that will debut when the team joins the FIA Formula One World Championship grid in 2026.

This is more than a commotion—it’s racing excellence in motion. TWG Motorsports and Cadillac are officially set to take the podium at the FIA Formula One World Championship grid in March 2026.
