Cadillac F1 team replaces Graeme Lowdon with veteran Marcin Budkowski

During the summer break, the Cadillac Formula 1 team announced the departure of team boss Graeme Lowdon and the hiring of former Alpine executive Marcin Budkowski.

Amid a challenging debut season that has left Cadillac at the bottom of the constructors' standings, the team announced a mid-season management overhaul. Graeme Lowdon will leave his role as team boss, though the statement did not specify the reasons or who initiated the move. Dan Towriss, Cadillac Formula 1 Team CEO, highlighted the appointment of Marcin Budkowski, a former Alpine executive director, as a key step in the team's development.

Towriss thanked Lowdon for his contributions during the build-up phase and wished him well. The change comes as the squad struggles with both pace and reliability, with drivers Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas each recording four retirements in eleven races. Cadillac hopes the new leadership can improve results before the Dutch Grand Prix on August 23.

Why it matters

A leadership shift could affect Cadillac's performance and the competitive balance in Formula 1.
