US EditionCadillac counts down to its F1 debut with lessons from NASA and the ‘inverse Ted Lasso’
Cadillac adopts NASA-inspired management for its 2026 Formula 1 debut, focusing on technical rigor and peer communication to build a competitive midfield team, says team principal.
- Cadillac and General Motors announced their Formula 1 entry next year, aiming to build power units and basing operations in Fishers, Indiana, with satellite sites near Silverstone, United Kingdom.
- With regulation changes underway, Cadillac has focused on developing its 2026 car, aiming to capitalize on a potential reshuffle in competitive order for the 2026 Formula 1 season.
- Drawing on lessons from NASA, Graeme Lowdon says he studied large-scale projects and the Apollo missions, shaping Cadillac's F1 team management while three or four shortlisted drivers like Sergio Perez, Valtteri Bottas, or Zhou Guanyu are linked to potential 2025 season returns.
- Interest spiked when Cadillac's entry was confirmed, Lowdon said his phone 'got super busy' and the team runs a visible countdown clock in its offices, yet past attempts outside F1's traditional bases in England and Italy have often failed.
- One near-term milestone is Cadillac's first engine fire-up and a free-practice outing at Melbourne, Australia, in March next year, while it builds cars in Fishers, Indiana, USA, adopting U.S. racing culture and operating out of sync with rivals.
