The Cadillac F1 CEO has popped up in a lawsuit in the US
Dan Towriss, the chief of the newly-formed Cadillac F1 team, has been implicated in a lawsuit amid the legal turmoil unfolding before the F1 2026 championship commences.
As the CEO of TWG Motorsports, the parent company of Cadillac F1 (formerly Andretti Cadillac Formula 1 Team), Towriss was handed control of Andretti Global by Michael Andretti in October 2024.
The lawsuit, filed by Joe Gibbs Racing NASCAR team against former competition director Chris Gabehart, alleges that Gabehart took sensitive information to give to rivals Spire Motorsports before joining them.
Towriss, who is also a co-owner of Spire Motorsports under TWG Motorsports, has addressed the accusations by emphasizing that Spire has not and does not possess any data from Joe Gibbs Racing.
Despite the legal challenges, Cadillac F1 will debut in the 2026 F1 season opener in Melbourne this weekend on Sunday, March 8th, as the 11th team on the grid.
