Graeme Lowdon has been appointed as the team principal for Cadillac's new Formula 1 team, set to join the grid in 2026. Lowdon, who has extensive experience in F1 and other motorsports, was instrumental in reworking GM's proposal after a previous bid with Andretti F1 was rejected. The appointment marks a significant step for Cadillac as it prepares to enter the sport under new regulations.
General Motors is advancing talks with Formula 1 for a potential 2026 entry as an 11th team, following Andretti Global's exit from the bid. Andretti's initial proposal was rejected by F1 on commercial grounds, but GM's involvement could see a new team, possibly under the Cadillac name, join the grid. While GM won't have its own engines ready until 2028, it may use customer engines initially. The move comes amid an anti-trust investigation into F1's rejection of Andretti by the US Department of Justice.
