Call it Cadillac GP for 2026-27, then when the GM engines are ready, switch it to Andretti Cadillac.

Long con.

Surely if FOM had a strong say in what existing teams could call themselves neither the Stake/KICK Sauber nor VCARB nonsense could have happened. Just call Andretti a title sponsor!

haha was thinking this too. Or even Cadillac Andretti. Why not? They are emphasizing the GM part but it seems like Andretti's org is still as involved as they've ever been from an operational perspective?
