Graeme Lowdon, team principal of the Cadillac Formula 1 team, emphasizes the urgency and precision required as the team approaches key milestones in its debut season. With global outposts strategically located in Silverstone, Charlotte, and Indianapolis, the team is diligently working towards its first fire-up of the F1 car, scheduled shakedown in Barcelona, and the season opener in Australia. Lowdon stresses the non-negotiable nature of meeting these deadlines and the awareness within the team of the ticking clock.
Cadillac's team structure includes key technical personnel such as Nick Chester as technical director and Jon Tomlinson as head of aerodynamics, with a growing team of skilled individuals being hired at a rapid pace. The team's multi-site operations in the UK, US, and Germany reflect a comprehensive approach to leveraging expertise from diverse motorsport hubs. Lowdon's experience in establishing an F1 team from scratch informs the team's preparations, with a focus on stability and complexity in the current landscape. Cadillac's entry approval in November 2025 marked a significant milestone, allowing the team to solidify partnerships and progress towards its inaugural season with a clear roadmap for development and competition.
