There are 11 Formula 1 teams on the grid for the 2026 season, with 22 cars in total.

Quick Scoop

  • The 2026 F1 World Championship is set to run with 11 teams instead of the traditional 10, thanks to the approved entry of Cadillac as a new outfit.
  • That means 22 drivers will compete, each team running the usual two-car line‑up.
  • The confirmed or expected teams include long‑standing names like Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Red Bull, plus newer entries Audi and Cadillac.

Why 11 teams now?

  • The governing bodies approved Cadillac (backed by General Motors) as an additional team starting from 2026, officially expanding the grid from 10 to 11.
  • This expansion aligns with the sport’s new 2026 technical and engine regulations, which have attracted more manufacturer interest such as Audi and GM/Cadillac.
