Dan Towriss, CEO of TWG Motorsports (the structure that oversees the General Motors offensive), Graeme Lowdon (team manager), Pat Symonds (special advisor), Mario Andretti (director of the board of directors of the team in preparation, see interview pages 48-49). The most representative figures of Cadillac F1 Team were present for a first official outing now that the doors of the championship are open to them.

Having obtained its precious sesame at the end of an unprecedented political and media arm wrestling match, the team must now urgently prepare its car to be ready for the first official test in 2026 which, as required by the new regulations, is planned for the end of January. It was a relief to officially get our entry back in March

PowerUnit made in USA now in 2029!! My opinion: it will never see the light of day if speculations about a "fossil free fuel" engine (V10 or V8) are relaunched in 2026 especially if GM / Cadillac suffers commercially and economically following customs duties and the trade war with China imposed by the White House's Agent Orange
