Sun May 04 20:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Cadillac Unveils Branding Ahead of 2026 F1 Entry; Verstappen Wins Thrilling Miami GP Start
**Miami, FL –** The Miami Grand Prix saw a thrilling start with Max Verstappen narrowly maintaining his lead, while a collision between Doohan and Lawson added to the excitement. Elsewhere, the weekend’s events included the unveiling of Cadillac’s official Formula 1 branding, marking their highly anticipated entry into the sport as the 11th team in 2026.
Cadillac, backed by TWG Motorsports and General Motors, held a red-carpet event in Miami to showcase their new logo and brand identity, signaling their ambitious plans for the future. The team, led by experienced Team Principal Graeme Lowdon (formerly of Manor), will utilize Ferrari engines until 2029, after which they will use their own GM Performance Power Units.
On the track, Verstappen’s victory was hard-fought, with a pit lane incident during the Sprint race costing him ground to McLaren. Other highlights included a wet qualifying session, the Williams team outlining strategic plans for the race, and the welcome addition of driveable LEGO builds to the drivers’ parade. The Miami Grand Prix’s contract has also been extended until 2041. The weekend’s action was rounded off by the announcement of artists including Doja Cat, Ed Sheeran, and Don Toliver for the upcoming F1 movie soundtrack.
