INDIANAPOLIS and HOUSTON, Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Cadillac Formula 1® Team and Frontieras North America today announced a multi-year global partnership to push the limits of American innovation in the world's toughest laboratory, Formula 1®.
As the Cadillac Formula 1® Team's Official Energy Transformation Partner, Frontieras North America will bring American energy innovation closer to the track.
The partnership unites two new entrants establishing themselves in industries built around history and legacy. Cadillac Formula 1® Team is the first new team on the Formula 1® grid in a decade, taking on legacy brands and long-tenured constructors on its own terms. Frontieras North America is doing the same in energy — built on the belief that the world's most abundant resource has never been fully unlocked, and that its advanced energy technology can change that. Both share the belief that American boldness, ingenuity, and industriousness can produce real breakthroughs.
"Innovation has always been part of America's story, and this partnership is another chapter in it," said Tyler Epp, Global Head of Commercial Strategy, Cadillac Formula 1® Team. "Frontieras and the Cadillac Formula 1® Team speak the same language; we're two American brands built to challenge the status quo in industries where the margins are narrow and the stakes are high. Through innovation and tenacity, we share a common belief that we can compete with more experienced peers on a global stage."
Matthew McKean, Co-Founder and CEO, Frontieras North America added: "Formula 1® demands vision, engineering, athleticism, and the courage to take risks that most people would never consider. It brings together nations that compete everywhere else and unites them under a shared respect for human ingenuity. Energy asks the same of us. Frontieras built FASForm™ to serve the world, and as Cadillac’s Energy Transformation Partner, we’re proud to carry an American story onto the global stage where bridges between nations are built."
Formed by TWG Motorsports and General Motors, the Cadillac Formula 1® Team combines engineering excellence with a clear focus on innovation and performance. Just as Cadillac's drivers and engineers are matching physical precision with split-second decision-making under pressure, Frontieras North America is applying that same discipline to energy — treating advanced fuel extraction as a test of ingenuity as demanding as anything on track.
Frontieras North America will harness the global platform of Formula 1® to build visibility and credibility on the world stage — reaching not only race fans, but the institutions, investors, and long-term partners watching where American energy innovation goes next.
