Cadillac F1 has made a mid-season change in team leadership, with Marcin Budkowski coming in after Graeme Lowdon’s stint as founding team principal. Reports say Budkowski now faces the task of addressing shortcomings in the new team’s structure and accelerating its progress ahead of joining the grid.
Multiple outlets reported that Cadillac F1 has made a mid-season change of team principal, bringing in Marcin Budkowski. The move follows Graeme Lowdon’s role as the project’s founding team principal.
According to Motorsport.com, Lowdon helped assemble the start-up operation under difficult circumstances, with Cadillac only officially approved to join the Formula 1 grid less than a year ago.
