Formula 1 is expanding with an 11th team joining the global motorsport for the 2026 season, naming General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42135392/general-motors-gears-up-for-potential-f1-entry-in-2026-report">with Andretti Global.</a>
While the new team is still over a year away from starting, it will add an increased American presence to the sport and more competition for recent and four-time consecutive champion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/21/12/24561188/max-verstappen-claims-his-first-f1-world-championship-5-things-you-might-not-know-about-the-for">Max Verstappen.</a>
What Happened: Formula 1, which is a unit of publicly traded Liberty Formula One (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FWONA#NASDAQ">FWONA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FWONK#NASDAQ">FWONK</a>), announced it reached an agreement with General Motors for a new team, branded as Cadillac, which will enter beginning in 2026, following up a previous rejection of a GM-linked team <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/01/36875148/formula-one-rejects-andretti-general-motors-team-bid-what-this-could-mean-for-us-growth-esp">earlier this year.</a>
General Motors will also become an engine supplier for the league at a later date, the league <a href="https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/statement-on-general-motors-application-to-join-fia-formula-one-world.69uoRF1uwHwXkr4efkpnhc">announced</a>. The GM team will use Ferrari engines until the GM engines are officially approved for the sport.
"With Formula 1's continued growth plans in the U.S., we have always believed that welcoming an impressive U.S. brand like GM/Cadillac to the grid and GM as a future power unit supplier could bring additional value and interest to the sport," Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei said.
General Motors President Mark Reuss called Formula 1 the "pinnacle of motorsports" and said the announcement of becoming the 11th team is an honor for the automotive company.
"We're committed to competing with passion and integrity to elevate the sport for race fans around the world," Reuss said. "This is a global stage for us to demonstrate GM's engineering expertise and technology leadership at an entirely new level."
The approval of the team comes after the U.S. Justice Department launched an investigation into why Liberty Media, who owns the commercial rights to Formula 1, would not approve the American team bid started by Michael Andretti.
The new team, called Cadillac F1, will be run by Andretti Global majority owners Dan Towriss and Mark Walter after Andretti stepped aside from the group in September. Former Formula 1 champion and racing legend Mario Andretti will have an ambassador role with Cadillac F1 while his son Michael will have no official position.

Why It's Important: The announcement comes after Formula 1's Las Vegas Grand Prix, one of three U.S. races in 2024, was recently held and saw Max Verstappen <a href="https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/42520866/max-verstappen-wins-fourth-f1-world-title-las-vegas-red-bull">win </a>his fourth consecutive Formula 1 World Championship.
While Verstappen finished fifth in the race, he secured enough points to guarantee that no one could match his points total with two races left in the season. This marks the fourth consecutive title by Verstappen with his first title in 2021 a close one with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/02/36897433/f1-legend-lewis-hamilton-set-to-join-ferrari-likely-to-replace-sainz-in-major-team-shake-up"> racing legend Lewis Hamilton.</a>
Verstappen has been dominant in the sport in recent years winning the title with races still left in season three of the four years. Verstappen won seven of the first 10 races this season before falling out of form but later did enough to win enough points to secure the title.
The new GM team marks the second American-owned team. Gene Haas owns a team but chooses to have international drivers. Michael Andretti's original vision was to have an American-owned team and also feature American drivers, something that fans of the sport will be closely watching.
Team expansion has been infrequent with four teams added in 2010 to push the total to 13 teams and 26 cars. Of the four teams added, one never raced and the other three were out of the league by 2017, as <a href="https://apnews.com/article/f1-grid-expansion-11th-team-andretti-9ffab2a3b1c71d59bd838b1c154b690f?taid=6744c0a5988d9800014d4a8b&amp;utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&amp;utm_medium=AP&amp;utm_source=Twitter">reported </a>by the Associated Press. &nbsp;
The existing 10 team owners have been against expansion due to the dilution of prize money, but have no formal say in the approval process.
Adding another American team could benefit ESPN, which is a unit of Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>). ESPN secured the renewal of the U.S. rights in 2022, paying an estimated $75 million to $90 million annually for the rights for three additional years.
ESPN fought off several other parties interested in the rights, as viewership for the sport has surged in recent years.
Along with recent growth in viewership in the U.S. Formula One teams have also experienced increased interest in ownership stakes from investors, including several notable American football players.
The Alpine racing team received&nbsp;<a href="https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.patrick-mahomes-travis-kelce-anthony-joshua-and-rory-mcilroy-among-host-of.3J4ua82zLZnEDJuM5Cegpe.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">investments&nbsp;</a>in 2023 from Kansas City Chiefs players&nbsp;Patrick Mahomes&nbsp;and&nbsp;Travis Kelce, professional golfer&nbsp;Rory McIlroy&nbsp;and actor&nbsp;Ryan Reynolds.
FWONA Price Action: Liberty Formula One shares were up 4.25% to $80.74 on Monday, hitting an intraday high of $80.88, which is a new 52-week high. The stock is up 41% year-to-date in 2024.

Flint, Michigan&#8217;s <a href="https://lightnupcannabis.com/">Light'N Up Cannabis Company</a> is helping local families in need celebrate Thanksgiving with its annual give away of 1,000 turkeys this past Saturday.
"Once you get something like this started, it takes on a life of its own and is more fun and more rewarding each year," said Light'N Up founder Kyle Cohee.
"We've been through some tough times here in Flint, and people deserve every single break we can provide," he said. "Giving them the central part of a Thanksgiving meal is our honor and our way of thanking the people of Flint for supporting our store."
The veteran-owned business set aside 300 of the 1,308 turkeys for Vet Life, a local nonprofit serving veterans. Another eight turkeys went to the North End Soup Kitchen and area churches to help others in need.
Country music artist and veteran advocate Stephen Cochran joined the event, adding to the day's community spirit.

The two lucky turkeys this year, Peach and Blossom from Minnesota, escaped the hatchet when President Joe Biden pardoned them in the annual pre-Thanksgiving tradition at the White House Monday.
&#8220;This event marks the official start of the holiday season here in Washington,&#8221; Biden <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/peach-blossom-continue-white-house-turkey-tradition/story?id=116182776">said</a> to a crowd of 2,500 gathered on the South Lawn. &#8220;It&#8217;s also my last time to speak here as your president during this season and give thanks and gratitude. So let me say to you, it&#8217;s been the honor of my life. I&#8217;m forever grateful.&#8221;

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Don't Forget Those Others You Promised To Pardon</h1>
It's been over two years since&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Biden</a>&#8216;s announcement to pardon all prior federal offenses&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/10/29175510/breaking-biden-announces-pardons-for-all-federal-marijuana-possession-convictions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">of simple marijuana possession</a>. It must be pointed out that not one single person among the approximately 3,000 people incarcerated for federal cannabis offenses has been released.
To remedy that situation, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/last-prisoner-project" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Last Prisoner Project</a>&nbsp;(LPP) has a great idea for the soon-to-be-retired president: release those prisoners immediately. 
In its People Not Poultry project, the LPP is calling on Biden to free the thousands of non-violent cannabis prisoners still incarcerated for offenses that are now legal in more than half the country. Last week, the LPP joined a chorus of advocates and over 60 Congress members in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/42122853/67-lawmakers-urge-biden-to-grant-clemency-to-people-still-in-jail-for-cannabis-offenses">sending a letter</a>&nbsp;to Biden seeking clemency so families can be reunited for the holidays.
In a press conference on the capitol steps, LPP Director of Strategic Initiatives Jason Ortiz, said, "Sadly, as of today, President Biden has given freedom to more turkeys than he has to people [incarcerated for cannabis]. This is a gross injustice and an injustice that President Biden can correct with a stroke of a&nbsp;pen."&nbsp;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Think Of Your Legacy, President Biden</h1>
&#8220;But time is running out for President Biden to use this power effectively," LPP wrote in a press statement shared with Benzinga in October. &#8220;As President Biden approaches the final months of his presidency, he has the unique opportunity to correct the injustices of the War on Drugs that he once helped champion. By commuting the sentences of those still incarcerated for cannabis, he can take a bold stand for justice, equity and healing.&#8221;

Legendary investor Warren Buffett has announced new charitable donations and updates to how his fortune will be spent after he is gone, news that comes months after he turned<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40652464/warren-buffett-celebrates-94th-birthday-with-1-trillion-market-cap-milestone-a-look-back-at-hig"> 94 years old.</a>
What Happened: Buffett announced Monday that he is converting 1,600 Berkshire Hathaway Class A (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) shares into 2,400,000 Berkshire Hathaway Class B (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) shares to make new donations as part of his<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41866296/with-warren-buffett-donating-99-of-his-fortune-whats-left-for-his-three-children-well-its-complicated"> continued philanthropic efforts.</a>
Buffett is donating 1,500,000 Class B shares to The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation and 300,000 shares to each of The Sherwood Foundation, The Howard G. Buffett Foundation and NoVo Foundation.
After the latest donation, Buffett will own 206,363 Class A shares, down 56.6% since his 2006 Giving Pledge.
Buffett recalled his belief and his late wife Susie's belief to support their children and philanthropic efforts in a new shareholder <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/news/nov2524.pdf">letter</a>.
"These bequests reflected our belief that hugely wealth parents should leave their children enough so they can do anything but not enough that they can do nothing," Buffett said. "Susie and I had long encouraged our children in small philanthropic activities and had been pleased with their enthusiasm, diligence and results."
Buffett said he is lucky to have lived as long as he has, while also recognizing his current age and the age of his children who are 71, 69 and 66.
"Father time always wins. But he can be fickle — indeed unfair and even cruel — sometimes ending life at birth or soon thereafter while, at other times, waiting a century or so before paying a visit."
Buffett said he never wished to create a family dynasty and trusts his children to pursue his wishes to continue philanthropic donations, along with successor trustees younger than his children.
"As such, three potential successor trustees have been designated. Each is well known to my children and makes sense to all of us."

Why It's Important: Buffett said friends question his strategies for donating his wealth and the instructions left for his children.
"I have one further suggestion for all parents, whether they are of modest or staggering wealth. When your children are mature, have them read your will before they sign it," Buffett said.
Buffett said it's important that children understand the logic of decisions and any responsibilities that they will take on after your death.
"You don't want your children asking "Why?" in respect to testamentary decisions when you are no longer able to respond."
Buffett recalls his life's success and early confidence that he could become rich.
"By not stepping on any banana peels, I now remain in circulation at 94 with huge sums in savings — call these units of deferred consumption — that can be passed along to others who were given a very short straw at birth."
The legendary investor said he lived his life the way he wanted by taking good care of his family and passing on wealth to others.
"With this philosophy, I have lived the way I wanted to live since my late 20s, and I have now watched my children grow into good and productive citizens."
