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

report that while “talks have not been complet𓃲ed”, Ferrari is “the favourite at the mom🐼ent”.

General Motors have registered as an F1 power unit manufacturer and plan to 🎃run their own engine “by th❀e end of the decade”.

However, in the meantime, the American outfit will need to buy a customer engine until they are ready to produce their own. This is n🎃ot expected to be until 2028 at the earliest.

As such, General Motors would have a🐓 minimum two-season interim period to fill after entering in 💫partnership with Cadillac.

Ferrari, who currently power Haa🍰s and Sauber, will have a spare supply slot from 2026 when Sauber transforms into Audi. The German manufacturer plans to build and run their own engine.

Honda would🐼 be another obvious potential option for Gen🃏eral Motors.

But the Milton Keynes-based squad has set up an in-house engine division, Red Bull Powertrains. Red Bull’s own power unit, in collaboration with Ford, will debut in 20🅘26.

Ho💦nda will supply Aston Martin with engines in 2026 and would have capacity to provide power units for further custome൲r teams.

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