Cadillac changed lanes midway through its debut Formula 1 season on Wednesday, hiring Marcin Budkowski to replace Graeme Lowdon as team principal.<\/p>\n

Budkowski, 49, previously served as executive director of the Alpine F1 team and has held senior roles with the FIA, McLaren, Ferrari and Prost dating back to 2001.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarcin\u2019s appointment marks another important step in the continued evolution of the Cadillac Formula 1 Team,\u201d said Cadillac F1 CEO Dan Towriss.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the beginning, our goal has not been simply to participate in Formula 1, but to build a next-generation team capable of competing at the very front.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we enter this new era for the Cadillac Formula 1 Team, Marcin brings exceptional F1 experience, technical expertise and strategic leadership that will strengthen our organization and help us develop the winning mindset, tools and processes required for long-term success.\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement comes during the midseason break, with the F1 calendar resuming with the Dutch Grand Prix on Aug. 23 in Zandvoort, the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Experiencing a bumpy ride as a new team, Cadillac has not scored a point through 11 races this season with drivers Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re grateful to Graeme Lowdon for his leadership and the role he played in forming the Cadillac Formula 1 Team from the ground up,\u201d Towriss said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis contributions helped establish a strong foundation in our build-up phase, and we thank him for his commitment and wish him well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lowdon, 61, was announced as the Cadillac team principal in December 2024. <\/p>\n
