“Cadillac is going to be a struggle, I think, to get a new team together, to get all the people together, to get the car on the grid,” she said during the Sky Sports F1 Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Like we had it before in [2016]. Haas joined the grid, and I remember at that point, when I was with McLaren<\/a>, walking into the track on the Friday morning as the Haas guys were walking out of the track to have a shower to go back to the track.<\/p>\n “That was how much pain they were in to get a new car on the grid for Australia. So, I think for the Cadillac guys, the job cannot be underestimated. If they get that car on the grid in Australia, that will be really good for them. That will be a victory in many ways.”<\/p>\n Sergio Perez, Cadillac Racing<\/p>\n Photo by: Jacopo Rava<\/p>\n Discussing the changes to the status quo in general, Collins noted the perception that Mercedes-powered teams will likely rise to the top.<\/p>\n “I think the status quo will change among the teams because I think it’ll be who gets the engine right and who gets the engine wrong. I think the perception is that Mercedes<\/a> engine teams will rise to the top. But we don’t know. We’ve not compared them against each other.<\/p>\n “But if nothing else, they’ve got three teams who they are supplying, so they’re going to learn a lot faster than Honda, which is only supplying one team.”<\/p>\n We want your opinion!<\/p>\n What would you like to see on Motorsport.com?<\/p>\n![\"Sergio](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1764179530_429_sergio-perez-cadillac-racing.jpg\")
