Towriss opens up on Lowdon exit: ‘It wasn’t a mutual decision’

Cadillac's CEO Dan Towriss has publicly clarified that the recent departure of Graeme Lowdon was not a mutual decision, as the team continues to struggle in its inaugural Formula 1 season without scoring any points. The replacement of Lowdon with Marcin Budkowski was described as a necessary step for the team's future, following a decision-making process that began months prior to the announcement, which coincided with the summer shutdown in Formula 1.

Towriss emphasized that Lowdon was not serving in an interim capacity and acknowledged the challenges of making such a significant change in a high-pressure environment like Formula 1. He expressed respect for Lowdon's contributions while indicating that the leadership transition was essential for Cadillac's long-term strategy. The team aims to move forward under Budkowski's guidance as they seek to improve their performance in the championship.
