5 key things we heard from Cadillac after Team Principal change

Cadillac has announced the appointment of Marcin Budkowski as their new Team Principal, replacing Graeme Lowdon effective immediately. TWG Motorsports CEO Dan Towriss stated that this leadership transition was part of a long-term plan to move the team from its initial construction phase into a new era of development. Budkowski, formerly an Executive Director at Alpine, emphasized that his initial focus will be on understanding the team's internal operations and addressing ongoing reliability issues. He intends to bridge the gap between factory production and trackside execution while focusing on long-term organizational strategy rather than chasing immediate 'magic wand' solutions. Regarding driver rumors, both Budkowski and Towriss dismissed speculation linking Sergio Perez to other teams, expressing full confidence in the Mexican driver's contributions and his future at Cadillac. The leadership team remains committed to their current driver pairing for the immediate future while maintaining a focus on building a sustainable, competitive culture for the 2027 season and beyond.
