Cadillac unveils one-off stars-and-stripes livery ahead of the team’s first-ever race on U.S. soil
After an unexpected month-long hiatus due to races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia being put on hold because of the war in the Middle East, Formula 1 returns this weekend with the Miami Grand Prix.
Which also just happens to be the first-ever home race for Cadillac, and they’ve unveiled one heck of a livery to celebrate.
The team — a joint venture between TWG Motorsports and General Motors — is in the midst of its first season in Formula 1, and while its on-track results through three Grand Prix and a Sprint race are not stellar, there’s still a ton of excitement about the American outfit.
While they’re not the only U.S. team on the grid (Haas is the other), they have leaned into their American roots, and nowhere is that more obvious than with this new livery for Miami, the first of three races on U.S. soil this season.

And, honestly, it’s a beauty.
I’m going to have to go ahead and say that’s a 10 out of 10 for me, no notes whatsoever.
I love that they kept their standard black-and-white color scheme and added the Stars and Stripes into the design pretty seamlessly.

But it’s the pop of red, white and blue and the “USA” on the underside of the top part of the rear wing that sends it over the top for me.
It’s a cool way of going patriotic without totally changing up their look, and frankly, I like this better than their normal livery, which is already pretty solid.

They also have some matching firesuits that will hit the track this weekend.
Hopefully, this livery and the month off will bode well for Cadillac, which is still searching for its first points in F1.
Some people (*sheepishly raises hand*) were maybe a little overly optimistic about Cadillac’s prospects in their maiden campaign, but the pieces are there to score points. They’ve got a great driver lineup in Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas, and the Ferrari power unit in the back of the team’s MAC-26, but unlike the other teams that use it, like Ferrari and Haas, Cadillac doesn’t seem to have maximized its capabilities.
So we’ll see where they stand when they hit the track for practice Friday, the weekend’s only session, as Miami hosts a sprint weekend.
The world’s largest sporting event, the 2026 FIFA World Cup, is just a few weeks away, returning to North America and the United States for the first time since 1994.
FIFA announced their first ever halftime show for the World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. In a post on X, featuring Elmo, Coldplay announced that the halftime show would be curated by lead singer Chris Martin and feature BTS, Madonna and Shakira. Shakira is set to release the official song of the World Cup, “Dai Dai,” later Thursday.
The show will also “raise funds for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund,” dedicated to “improving access to quality education and football for children around the world.”
FOX broadcasts the entire tournament, with opening matches kicking off on June 11 in Mexico. El Tri hosts South Africa in Mexico City, while South Korea takes on Croatia in Guadalajara.
Then the next day, the other two hosts play their first group stage matches. Canada plays Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto in Group B. Then the US Men’s National Team, coming off a rocky past few months of friendlies, plays its first match against Paraguay in Los Angeles. They then head to Seattle to play Australia on June 19, before closing out the group stage against Turkey back in LA on June 25.
Unsurprisingly, given the scale and scope of the tournament, and the stage hosting in the US offers, FIFA is pulling out all the entertainment stops.
Already, soccer’s governing body has set up an extensive list of entertainment to kick off the tournament in the host countries. An opening ceremony in Los Angeles on June 12 will feature music acts like Katy Perry, Future, Anitta, LISA, Rema and Tyla.
“This opening ceremony in Los Angeles represents the extraordinary scale of what the FIFA World Cup 2026 will become,” FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in a statement. “The lineup of artists reflects the cultural diversity of the United States and the vibrancy of its many diasporas, highlighting the nation’s rich influence on music, entertainment and pop culture, while showcasing the power of music to bring people together across the country.”
That ceremony will kick off 90 minutes before the start of the US match, and will complement two additional opening ceremonies in Canada and Mexico. The opening match in Toronto will feature performances by Alanis Morissette, Alessia Cara, Elyanna, Jessie Reyez, Michael Bublé, Nora Fatehi, Sanjoy, Vegedream and William Prince.

In Mexico, opening ceremony headliners include Alejandro Fernández, Belinda, Danny Ocean, J Balvin, Lila Downs, Los Ángeles Azules, Maná and Tyla.
Prior performers at World Cup finals include stars like Carlos Santana and Wycleaf Jean at the 2014 tournament in Brazil. Will Smith was among those who sang at the 2018 finale in Russia, and Davido, Aisha, Ozuna were part of the 2022 closing ceremony in Qatar.
Over 100 matches. 16 cities hosting in three countries. Over a month’s worth of action, culminating in a momentous finale in New Jersey. The World Cup never fails to deliver.
