Cadillac Team Principal Graeme Lowdon discusses the challenges ahead of the team’s Formula 1 debut next season amid the implementation of the 2026 regulations aimed at enhancing competition and attracting manufacturers.
The 2026 rules have received positive feedback, with George Russell expressing optimism for improved racing and Audi joining as a new OEM alongside the General-Motors-backed Cadillac F1 project.
Lowdon highlights the demanding task of preparing for the team’s upcoming engine ignition and car testing in January before hitting the track for the first time in Barcelona.
Despite facing time constraints due to their late 2025 approval, Cadillac is diligently progressing towards its Australian GP debut in March 2026, partnering with Ferrari initially and eyeing a transition to a works team by 2028.
With experienced drivers Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez on board, Cadillac is navigating through the tight schedule of building, designing, and assembling everything necessary for their F1 venture.
As the countdown continues, the team remains fully committed to overcoming the formidable challenges on the road to their much-anticipated inaugural season in the pinnacle of motorsport.
