Cadillac in ‘race against time’ to join F1 grid for 2026
Cadillac team principal Graeme Lowdon stressed the urgency of the task ahead, with the team set to debut on the F1 grid in 2026.
Despite being granted entry only in March, the team still has key positions vacant for their Silverstone base, like a senior aerodynamics engineer.
The team has bases in the US and the UK, with operations in Indiana, North Carolina, Michigan, and Silverstone.
Lowdon emphasized the tight timeline for Cadillac to be race-ready by the 2026 Australian Grand Prix.
The driver lineup for Cadillac F1 in 2026 remains uncertain, with contenders like Sergio Perez and Mick Schumacher in talks with the team.
Cadillac will partner with Ferrari for power units and gearboxes initially, with GM working towards developing their own power units by 2029.
