Cadillac F1 Unveils Stars and Stripes Livery for Miami Grand Prix Home Debut
The Cadillac Formula 1 Team is heading into its first home race with a bold new gaze. Ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, the American squad has revealed a special one-off livery designed to celebrate its identity and its arrival on home soil. The design blends the team’s established brand identity with a vibrant expression of Americana, signaling a major milestone for the new entry in the F1 paddock.
A Bold Expression of Americana
The special Miami livery, presented by primary partner TWG AI, builds upon the dual-tone black and white scheme first introduced during Super Bowl LX in February 2026. To mark the occasion, the team has integrated the Stars and Stripes motif throughout the car’s bodywork.
Key design elements of the celebratory livery include:
- The Front Wing: A detailed design featuring 50 stars, with one star representing each American state.
- The Rear Wing: A high-visibility “USA” script rendered in red, white, and blue.
- Color Palette: While maintaining the signature grayscale base, the car incorporates strategic splashes of national colors to emphasize the team’s American heritage.
“The Cadillac Formula 1 Team’s special Miami Grand Prix livery is a natural extension and speaks without excess. It’s deliberate and confident,” said Cassidy Towriss, Chief Brand Advisor for the Cadillac Formula 1 Team. “This is our first home race, and it mattered to us that fans still recognize what they’ve come to know.”
Driver Identity and Fan Engagement
The thematic overhaul extends beyond the car. Drivers Sergio “Checo” Perez and Valtteri Bottas will wear Miami-specific race suits that mirror the car’s blend of American identity and understated pride.
For the fans attending the event from May 1-3, the team is hosting a two-day experience at the Jungle Plaza. The Cadillac F1 Miami Headquarters will offer racing simulators, local Miami food, and exclusive merchandise not available through other channels. Attendees can as well follow the action via a livestream on Apple TV.
Performance and Technical Outlook
While the livery captures the headlines, the team is focused on translating its early-season reliability into points. Through the first three races, Cadillac has remained toward the back of the standings but has shown impressive mechanical stability, recording only one DNF (Did Not Finish). This suggests the new effort is avoiding the typical teething problems associated with a maiden F1 campaign.
Currently, the team uses Ferrari power units while General Motors continues to develop its own engine program. According to GM, the internal engine project is progressing exactly as planned.
“Miami is a huge moment for the team, and we’re proud to have our name on the car for it. This new livery for the first American race is more than just a design – it’s a statement of identity and intent,” said Drew Cukor, President of TWG AI.
