Cadillac completes its first F1 test with a black Ferrari SF-23, echoing Michael Schumacher’s rare 1998 black-liveried run as the team prepares staff and systems for its 2026 Formula 1 debut. Cadillac’s arrival in Formula 1 took another significant step this week as the American manufacturer conducted its first official on-track programme, placing Sergio Perez behind the wheel of a completely blacked-out Ferrari SF-23. While Ferrari is globally associated with its legendary rosso corsa identity, the sight of a Ferrari chassis dressed in black is not without historical precedent, even if it remains a rarity that often surprises long-time F1 fans. The symbolic weight of Ferrari’s traditional red livery is deeply rooted in the philosophy of its founder. Enzo Ferrari often expressed the idea that red embodied the spirit of the marque so powerfully that even a child, when imagining a racing car, would instinctively choose that colour. Over the decades, the red Ferrari has become an instantly recognisable icon of Italian motorsport culture. Yet during Cadillac’s first Testing of Previous Car (TPC) session as a future F1 constructor, that unwritten rule was temporarily set aside. Their technical partnership with Ferrari, who will supply engines from 2026, gave Cadillac access to a 2023-spec car for their engineering familiarisation test at Imola.
Cadillac conducts its initial official on-track programme in Formula 1 using a black Ferrari SF-23, mirroring a rare black-liveried 1998 Schumacher-era moment as the manufacturer gears up for a 2026 debut.
Summary: Cadillac’s F1 testing milestone features a black Ferrari SF-23 as engineering familiarisation proceeds ahead of a 2026 engine supply, revisiting a historical precedent of black liveries in Ferrari lore.
