Cadillac hires Peter Crolla as it builds 2026 F1 trackside team

Cadillac is putting together its trackside Formula 1 team well ahead of its planned arrival on the grid in 2026. As part of that process, the team searched for a race team manager around a year before its entry.

It selected Peter Crolla, who had been Haas team manager and was described as long-serving there. Haas was Formula 1's previous start-up team when it joined in 2016.

According to the reports, Crolla had been looking for a new challenge. For Cadillac, his appointment brings in someone with experience of helping build a new F1 operation from the ground up.
