Did General Motors design this car/engine, or just put the Cadillac name on it? F1 seems to be way out of GM’s reach to me… I haven’t followed it in a long time tho.
This is a Ferrari engine - they are starting out buying them from Ferrari while designing their own. Currently expecting to switch in 2029. It’s quite normal for even top F1 teams to buy engines from others, BTW (last year’s winners, McLaren, have been purchasing Mercedes engines for years).
The car is their own design - I think that’s required for all teams.
Its required that teams own the IP to their chassis, but Haas for example outsource everything. Their design bureau is on secondment from Ferrari, and their cars are built by Dallara. That’s on the extreme end.
