Cadillac F1: Preparing for the Challenge

Cadillac will make its Formula 1 race debut in 250 days time, in next March’s Australian Grand Prix, but will it be ready? That’s the question we answer in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. 

Special Guest Sahil Kapur, from NBC News, joins Ben Anderson and Edd Straw to explain the political machinations that led to the entry being granted earlier this year, and discuss whether the start-up team’s unique structure will work. 

We then hear from team principal Graeme Lowdon, who talked to us when The Race paid a visit to Cadillac’s Silverstone facilities for a look around - and explains why he has no doubts that the car will be ready to go.

After that, we discuss potential drivers and the possible impact in America and also ask what is a realistic goal for the team in terms of its performance in 2026.
