Cadillac has replaced Graeme Lowdon with Marcin Budkowski, the former Alpine executive director who lasted one season in charge. Lowdon built the team from scratch and secured its F1 entry, but with zero points through the first half of the season—Cadillac's best result is P11 in Monaco after Perez took a penalty—GM pulled the trigger. Budkowski brings serious credentials: he ran Ferrari's aero during the Schumacher dynasty, headed McLaren's aero division, and spent time in the FIA's technical department before returning to the grid with Renault in 2018. His mandate is clear: maximize development within the cost cap, build what he calls "an elite organization with a winning mindset," and stop leaving points on the table. He takes over at Zandvoort, where Cadillac needs to prove this is more than rearranging deck chairs on the grid's slowest car.
