Cadillac’s Formula 1 Program Is Making Progress, But Reliability Still Frustrates Perez and Bottas

Cadillac's new Formula 1 team, led by team principal Graeme Lowdon, is using the 2026 summer break to assess its progress after a demanding debut season adapting to new power unit and chassis regulations. Drivers Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas have been accumulating valuable mileage, but reliability issues have hampered the team's ability to finish races consistently. Lowdon acknowledges the challenges of competing as a new entry against established top teams, stating that continuous improvement is essential.
