Cadillac abruptly replace team principal Graeme Lowdon with ex-Alpine boss Marcin Budkowski

Cadillac Formula 1 team has replaced team principal Graeme Lowdon, 61, with former Alpine boss Marcin Budkowski, effective following an announcement on Wednesday. Lowdon had led the General Motors-backed team since December 2024, overseeing its F1 debut at the start of the 2026 season, but the team has yet to score a point and sits last in the constructors' championship after its first half-season. Cadillac described the move as a 'planned leadership transition' as the team shifts from its build phase into a performance-focused stage.
