Cadillac’s entry into Formula 1 continues to gather momentum, with the team reaching another landmark moment as it prepares to compete at the Miami Grand Prix in front of a home crowd for the very first time.
The 2026 season has already marked a significant shift on the grid, with Cadillac becoming the championship’s 11th team—an expansion that underscores Formula 1’s growing global appeal. For the American manufacturer, each phase of its debut campaign has represented a step into uncharted territory. From the initial ignition of its power unit to completing its first race weekend, and ultimately seeing both drivers finish a race—achieved at the Chinese Grand Prix—the journey has been defined by steady progress and symbolic milestones.
Now, the Miami round offers something even more meaningful: a chance to perform on home soil. The significance of this moment is not lost on team principal Graeme Lowdon, who described the occasion in simple but powerful terms.
“If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be historic,” Lowdon said, reflecting on the team’s rapid rise to the Formula 1 stage.
Expanding on that sentiment, Lowdon emphasized just how rare such an opportunity is within the sport. New teams seldom enter Formula 1, particularly those backed by major automotive brands with global recognition. Cadillac’s arrival, therefore, represents more than just another competitor—it signals a notable moment in the sport’s modern evolution.
He also highlighted the broader strength behind the project, pointing to the role of TWG Motorsport, whose expertise and investment have been instrumental. With ties to major U.S. sports franchises such as the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Dodgers, TWG Motorsport brings a wealth of experience in high-performance sporting environments and commercial growth.
According to Lowdon, this combination of heritage, ambition, and strategic backing makes Cadillac’s Formula 1 venture a uniquely positioned project. He described the experience as both rare and deeply rewarding, noting his pride in representing the team and witnessing its development from the inside.
As the paddock heads to Miami, Cadillac’s presence adds an extra layer of narrative to the weekend. Competing in front of American fans for the first time, the team’s participation represents not just another race, but a defining chapter in its early Formula 1 story—one that blends sporting ambition with national pride.
