Cadillac’s first ever major Formula 1 upgrade package has broken cover at the Miami Grand Prix – here’s what they’ve changed and what the team says about it
Cadillac’s first major Formula 1 upgrade package was unveiled at the Miami Grand Prix, expected to deliver a significant performance boost due to extensive changes made primarily to the floor, along with aerodynamic and mechanical modifications across the car. The upgrades, approved by the FIA, include nine separate components enhancing various aspects of the car’s performance, with a focus on increasing downforce to address grip issues reported by drivers since pre-season testing. Despite the sprint format of the race weekend, the team is hopeful that the upgrades will have a positive impact, especially with the additional time for preparation resulting from the cancellation of previous Grands Prix. The rigorous testing and manufacturing process required for the new components have been managed efficiently, ensuring both cars will be equipped with the necessary upgrades without any delays or shortages. Overall, the team remains cautiously optimistic about the potential improvements the upgrade package could bring to their performance on the track.
