Cadillac is set to make its highly anticipated entry into Formula 1 competition. The legendary brand's racing team will officially debut on March 8th during the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. General Motors President Mark Reuss recently shared that the team will test a special-edition livery at their new global headquarters in Detroit. This livery is slated for reveal during Shakedown Week in Barcelona, Spain, between January 26 and 30, and will later be featured at the Australian Grand Prix.
The development of the special livery represents a joint effort between the Cadillac Formula 1 Team and the General Motors Design Team. This collaboration serves as a testament to Cadillac's international reach and the innovative talent behind its F1 racing program. At the recent opening event for the automaker's global headquarters, a replica F1 vehicle adorned with the Barcelona Shakedown livery was unveiled for fans. To ensure local enthusiasts can see it, General Motors will keep the car at the Detroit Auto Show until January 25.
What is Cadillac Formula 1's Special Livery?
The Formula 1 Team Barcelona Shakedown livery serves a different purpose than the team's primary racing colors. It features a bold, aerodynamic-focused design created specifically for pre-season testing and development. This allows the Cadillac Formula 1 Team to evaluate critical aerodynamic data before the formal season, enabling necessary performance adjustments. Unveiling this livery in Spain highlights Cadillac's commitment to high-performance engineering and its distinctive design legacy. Although the livery will be prominently displayed in Barcelona, the team remains discreet regarding the car's final design details until Shakedown Week. Early details suggest a sophisticated monochrome palette highlighted by geometric shapes and the brand's signature logo.
