Cadillac is getting ever closer to lining up on the F1 grid as it continues to build towards its venture into the series.
Cadillac is confident that dividing its F1 operations among different facilities will not pose significant challenges.
The team is set to enter the grid next year with an expanded field of 22 cars, a first since 2017.
While its headquarters will be in Fishers, Indiana, the team will also have a power unit factory in Charlotte and a base in Silverstone.
Pat Symonds, Cadillac’s executive engineering consultant with extensive F1 experience, believes the global spread will not hinder operations.
Symonds emphasizes that communication and collaboration across multiple sites have become seamless and efficient, allowing the team to function effectively despite geographical distances.
The team leverages European expertise while maintaining its American identity, showcasing a new era where physical location matters less than effective communication channels.
