Cadillac Unveils Monochrome Livery for First Formula 1 Test
Newcomer to the Formula 1 scene, Cadillac, has revealed a special monochrome livery that will be used for the first test of the season in Barcelona. The American luxury vehicle manufacturer, which has signed notable drivers Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas, released images of the temporary design on January 13, 2026, just 13 days before the private test in Barcelona commences.
The livery, developed in collaboration between General Motors and Cadillac, features a sleek black and silver design. According to the team, this look is “distinct from the official race livery,” which will be unveiled during a Super Bowl advert on February 8, 2026. Cadillac is being cautious about revealing too much about their new car, opting to keep details under wraps for the time being.

General Motors President Mark Reuss expressed the team’s excitement about the upcoming test, stating, “Our new testing livery celebrates Detroit’s design heritage and the power of the global Cadillac Formula 1 team, while keeping our design secrets under wraps.” Reuss added, “The Barcelona test is just the beginning — we can’t wait to share our official race livery with fans around the world next month.”
Following the four-day test in Barcelona, Formula 1 will proceed with two three-day tests in Bahrain before the season officially kicks off with the Australian Grand Prix on March 8, 2026. As the 11th team on the grid this year, Cadillac is eager to make a strong impression and has been working diligently to prepare for its inaugural season.

The team’s decision to keep its official race livery a secret until the Super Bowl advert has only added to the anticipation. As the automotive world waits with bated breath for the official reveal, one thing is certain – Cadillac’s entry into Formula 1 is going to be a thrilling ride.
