General Motors has set up an engine company to turn its planned Cadillac Formula One entry into a full works team by the end of the decade, the carmaker said on Thursday.

Cadillac's prospective Formula 1 team has announced its plan to build its own engines out of an American base by the end of the decade.

The new venture will produce Cadillac’s in-house power unit for F1 beyond its deal with current supplier Ferrari

The Belgian Grand Prix has signed a new six-year deal with Formula 1, but will only be in the calendar in four out of those six seasons.

The deal means the fixture at Spa-Francorchamps – which is among the most recognisable in F1 – will be omitted from the schedule in 2028 and 2030.

The Belgian Grand Prix will appear on the F1 calendar for four of the next six seasons after 2025, taking place in 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2031. It marks a first step from F1 to introduce circuit rotation to its calendar amid sizable demand from countries around the world to host a grand prix.
