Interesting that Cadillac wants to get involved into F1. That's a huge initial investment and huge on going development expense every year.Andretti and Cadillac announce Formula 1 entry plans

Cadillac is selling a miniscule 300,000 vehicles annually with most of the sales happening in China. So it is not a factor in the automobile market and doesnt have the funds to finance the $200 million entry fee. Plus the power unit will not be a Cadillac. So it seems it is just a marketing gimmick to increase visibility of the brandAndretti and Cadillac announce Formula 1 entry plans

There was a Steinbrenner involved with Andretti in a lower formula a few years ago. I don’t know if he is still involved in any way at the moment. I’m sure he would have deep enough pockets but it’s still 4 years away and needs FIA approval so a lot can happen between now and then.I read somewhere that some baseball team owner is willing to pay the $200 million entry fee.
OK found the article referring to the $200 million entry fee. It's rumored the owner of the LA Dodgers is willing to pay it.There was a Steinbrenner involved with Andretti in a lower formula a few years ago.

Mercedes and Ferrari may pour millions of dollars into the sport, the sport also pours millions of dollars into their pockets. Bet at the end of the day, the Teams collect more money than they put into the sport...just like one would expect. Thats a moot point to the BBC report.Cadillac marketing gimmickry confirmed. BBC reports: "GM will just put Cadillac's name to a car powered by a Renault engine. The appeal to Cadillac of paying to have its name promoted globally by F1 is obvious. It's a relatively cheap and easy way to gain significant publicity for the brand. But the idea that a rival manufacturer could benefit in that way when the likes of Mercedes and Ferrari are pouring hundreds of millions a year into F1 is less palatable to those already in the sport."
Teams collecting more money than they put into the sport is called making a profit lolMercedes and Ferrari may pour millions of dollars into the sport, the sport also pours millions of dollars into their pockets.

Red Bull in the last few years has rebranded both the Renault and Honda Engines. Their money, they can call it what ever they like.
I am fine if they can fill the 24 spots on the grid, there are just 20 right now. Makes no difference if the car/team is backed by BMW, VW (parent company to Audi), GM, Ford, Toyota, Hyundai etc. The more competion the better.
With the cost cap I think it's hard to meaningful impacts quickly. Williams better not think he will make a dramatic difference in a 1-2 year window.Wolff backs Vowles to make ‘fantastic’ impact at Williams as he explains new Mercedes structure | Formula 1®
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has paid tribute to departing chief strategist James Vowles, declaring that he is “happy and proud” to see him take up the Team Principal position at Williams.www.formula1.com
Vowels to Williams, maybe he can make Williams great again.
Hope it will not be a repeat of when Paddy Lowes returned to Williams after his time at Mercedes
