'Bit of a shock to the system' leading Cadillac – Budkowski

Marcin Budkowski has taken over as Team Principal of Cadillac in Formula 1, replacing Graeme Lowdon just before the Dutch Grand Prix. Having a rich background in the sport, Budkowski expressed that returning to F1 has been a significant adjustment due to the fast-paced environment and the challenges of leading a new team. Cadillac is currently facing difficulties in their inaugural season, remaining the only team without points, with their best result being a P13 finish by Valtteri Bottas in China.

Despite these challenges, Budkowski is optimistic about the team's future, noting positive aspects of the team's dynamics and discussions. He highlighted the need for improvements in reliability and operational efficiency, acknowledging that building a new team comes with its own set of challenges. Budkowski is focused on aligning the team towards a common vision and addressing areas that require more attention to enhance performance moving forward.
