The announcement comes after appointments were confirmed across recent months, including former Marussia Sporting Director Graeme Lowdon joining as Team Principal and industry veteran Russ O’Blenes becoming CEO of TWG GM Performance Power Units, which will contribute towards Cadillac becoming a “full works” team by the end of the decade.
“I couldn’t be prouder of the effort put in thus far by the entire Cadillac Formula 1 team,” said Lowdon. “This announcement is the next step in getting on the grid and continued work toward building a full-works team.

“Through the long and thorough application process, we never lost pace in planning or belief in our mission. We can’t wait to go racing and give fans a new team to cheer for.”
O’Blenes added: “Ongoing preparation and development of our power unit continues, and we’ve been working hard to hire some top tier talent. As we continue to add more experienced engineering personnel, we look forward to running our first V6 in the near future.”
The Cadillac outfit – which has bases in Fishers, Indiana; Charlotte, North Carolina; Warren, Michigan; and Silverstone, England – have assembled a team of over 200 people working on aerodynamics, chassis and component development, software and vehicle dynamics simulation since the squad’s bid to enter Formula 1 was announced, with development work continuing at pace ahead of joining the grid in 2026.
