"Every day is a school day," claims Lowdon as he reflects on Cadillac's maiden F1 season

Cadillac's inaugural Formula 1 season in 2026 has been marked by challenges, particularly with reliability issues that led to a double retirement at the Austrian Grand Prix. However, the team has shown improvement, successfully finishing both cars in the Sprint and Grand Prix at Silverstone, which provided a morale boost for the organization. Team principal Graeme Lowdon reflects on the importance of operational execution and long-term development rather than just championship standings to measure success for a new team in the sport.

Lowdon acknowledges the difficulties of entering Formula 1 and emphasizes the need for patience and continuous learning. He highlights the contributions of drivers Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Pérez, noting their roles extend beyond just driving the car. Both drivers are integral to the team's development, and Lowdon expresses confidence in their ability to help drive Cadillac forward in the competitive environment of Formula 1.
