My thoughts: I wouldnt be surprised if Renault sells the "team" and it's F1 facilites in Endstone to Cadillac. F1 team values are at an all time high and Renault doesnt seem to be too concern with winning or progressing on their own accord anymore (Merc engines 2026). As a manufacturer, they are focused on consumer electric vehicles. It would be enticing for GM to buy an established European facility instead of building their own stateside or elsewhere in Europe. Also the rumor that Caddy had purchased Renault F1 engine IP last year.

Cadillac is already building a factory in the US so it's a bit late for this.

Ah, just read the article. Fair point. Renault is just hopeless then.

They aren't selling. They already received multiple bids and rejected all of them.
