The Cadillac Formula 1 team has revealed it is bringing another \u201csubstantial upgrade package\u201d to this weekend\u2019s Austrian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

The new American team unsurprisingly started life in F1 as a backmarker but has been making inroads performance-wise, courtesy of consistent updates to the MAC-26.<\/p>\n

This included an upgraded rear wing and exhaust in Monaco, followed by further rear wing and cooling improvements at Barcelona, where Sergio Perez<\/a> qualified just 1.9s down on the fastest Q1 time and outqualified the Aston Martins by 1.2s.<\/p>\n

Cadillac is keeping up that pace going into the Red Bull Ring round, with Silverstone coming up next week. \u201cThe races now come along in rapid succession, and meeting that logistical element while improving our competitive performance is one of the key challenges of this part of the year,\u201d said team principal\u00a0Graeme Lowdon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are however pleased to be able to bring another substantial upgrade package this weekend. With new sidepods and floor it\u2019s a significant amount of work and we hope that it will continue our trajectory of steadily catching up to the midfield.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t underestimate the challenges Austria present, but we\u2019re learning all the time and I\u2019m confident we can make progress again this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Points narrowly eluded Perez in a topsy-turvy Monaco race<\/a> before a tough Spanish round, and the Mexican is confident the new parts will help Cadillac gain more ground in the pecking order.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery race it feels that we\u2019re making progress, and there was a lot of valuable learning in getting to the checkered flag in Barcelona,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rate of development is very good, everyone back at the factory is going full speed to deliver new parts to the track, and the upgrade we have this weekend will hopefully provide another step.\u201d<\/p>\n
