250 days to go - but how ready is Cadillac for its F1 debut? (ad-free)
Added 2025-07-01 10:49:55 +0000 UTCCadillac will make its Formula 1 race debut in 250 days time, in next March’s Australian Grand Prix, but will it be ready? That’s the question we answer in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Special Guest Sahil Kapur, from NBC News, joins Ben Anderson and Edd Straw to explain the political machinations that led to the entry being granted earlier this year, and discuss whether the start-up team’s unique structure will work.
We then hear from team principal Graeme Lowdon, who talked to us when The Race paid a visit to Cadillac’s Silverstone facilities for a look around - and explains why he has no doubts that the car will be ready to go.
After that, we discuss potential drivers and the possible impact in America and also ask what is a realistic goal for the team in terms of its performance in 2026.

I wish the video version of the podcast was available here as well. I saw it pop up in YouTube now and I'm re-listening it. Are all the episodes available on video form as well or just a selected few? If the latter, a heads up would be nice, I'll probably prefer to wait till the YouTube release rather than consuming the audio-only version here.

2025-07-03 12:06:54 +0000 UTCI wonder if there will be any 107% qualifying issues next year for Cadillac and if they don’t meet this on the basis of pure pace , will the FIA actually enforce it
