‘We know it's a huge challenge’ – Cadillac boss Lowdon on the team’s preparation ahead of 2026 debut and their ‘first target’

Six months after getting the green light to enter Formula 1 and six months before their entry into the sport as the 11th team, things are starting to ramp up in a big way for the General Motors-backed Cadillac F1 Team.

Starting a Formula 1 squad from scratch is no mean feat – but one of the very few people in the world who has experience in such a task happens to be the one charged with leading the new American project onto the grid next season.

Graeme Lowdon has immense experience in Formula 1, first with Marussia/Manor as Sporting Director, then as part of the management team of Zhou Guanyu, China's first F1 race driver. During that time, he was also an adviser to the project that has become the Cadillac F1 entry and thus is already well embedded.
