Long-standing F1 curse makes Cadillac seat a poisoned chalice for Ricciardo, Perez and more
Cadillac’s F1 team is at risk of being part of F1 history without a single race victory. Despite efforts by Andretti and General Motors, the harsh reality is that no team founded in the 21st century has won an F1 race.
Marko is contemplating a confrontation over Verstappen’s potential exit, and retirement criteria have been confirmed by the champion. There seems to be a curse on new F1 teams, and history shows no race wins for them, no matter the circumstances.
The last truly new team was Haas in 2016, yet they’ve not reached the podium in almost 200 races. Previous entrants like Campos Meta 1 and Virgin/Marussia/Manor faced similar fates with limited success and brief stays in the sport.
Cadillac enters a challenging environment where even well-known brands and significant funding have failed to secure race wins in 36 combined F1 seasons. While the odds may seem against them, perhaps Cadillac can defy expectations with their backing from General Motors.
