Cadillac will be carrying America’s colors into battle on British soil on July 4 weekend.
The Cadillac Formula 1 Team has revealed a special livery for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone that swaps the black and white color scheme for a red, white and blue design to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.
“The 4th of July weekend is ea moment for us to show our continued pride in representing the United States on the global stage of F1,” Cadillac Formula 1 Team Holdings CEO Dan Towriss said in a news release.
“We want to use it as an opportunity to allow new communities to discover the sport and share our passion.”
The design incorporates stars into the front wing’s styling and features USA emblazoned across the rear wing.
Cadillac debuted a stars and stripes livery for the Miami Grand Prix, which was its first on U.S. soil, but it largely retained the grayscale color palette.
Cadillac builds its own chassis, but currently uses Ferrari power units as it continues the development of its own in an effort to become the first American full works team by 2029.

Its rookie season has been a learning experience and struggle, with numerous DNFs and no points scored through the first 10 event weekends. The high point was Sergio Perez’s 10th place on-track finish at Monaco, but he received a post race penalty that dropped him to 15th and out of the points.
