The clock is ticking on Cadillac’s entry into F1, although initial expectations are not high
Graeme Lowdon believes that his rival F1 team bosses will be extremely upset next season if Cadillac outperforms their established organizations in the constructors’ championship. The approval for Cadillac’s entry into Formula 1 was finally given after a lengthy process, with just 12 months to prepare for their debut at the Australian Grand Prix. The team, supported by GM and TWG Motorsports, has set up facilities across four different locations and will focus on consolidating its operations at the Silverstone site next year. Despite utilizing various resources like Toyota’s wind tunnel, initial performance may be challenging to achieve due to the complex structure. Lowdon, the team principal, has set low expectations for the first year, understanding the competitive nature of F1 and the difficulties faced by new teams entering the sport. The team’s goal is to be as competitive as possible while acknowledging the steep learning curve and uncertainties that come with their inaugural season.
