Ferrari have emerged as the early favourite to supply General Motors with an engine from F1 2026.

report that while “talk꧒s have not been completed”, Ferrari is “the favourite at the 🔴moment”.

General Motors have r🐠egistered as an F1 power unit manufacturer🎶 and plan to run their own engine “by the end of the decade”.

However, in the me🌜antime, the American outfit will need to buy a customer engi𓄧ne until they are ready to produce their own. This is not expected to be until 2028 at the earliest.

As such, General Motors wou🍷ld have a minimum two-season interim period to fill after entering in 🔜partnership with Cadillac.

Ferrari, who currently power Haas and Sauber, will h💖ave a spare supply slot from 2026 when Sauber transforms into Audi. The German manufac🅷turer plans to build and run their own engine.

Honda would be another obvious potential option for Genera🐲l꧟ Motors.

The Japanese manufacturer currently power Red Bull and siste🐎r team RB.

But the Milton Keynes-based squad has set up an in-house engine division, Red Bull Powertrains. Red Bull𓆉’s own power unit, in collaboration with Ford, will debut in 2026.

Honda will supply Aston Martin with engines in 2026 and would have capacity to provide power units for further 𒁏customer teams.

1978 F1 world champion Mario Andretti is set to serve as a director on the team’s board in a 𒈔non-executive role, though he will not be involved in the day-to-day operations.

His son, 𝓀Michael Andretti, will not be the team boss after stepping back f𒅌rom his role.

The American outfit’s recruitment drive 🔯to capture experienced F💖1 talent has already started, with ex-Renault trio Nick Chester, Pat Symonds and Rob White all involved in the project.
