Cadillac Budkowski team boss report emerges

A reported Cadillac move involving Marcin Budkowski has surfaced as the new team builds for its 2026 F1 debut, with Bottas and Perez also linked in recent coverage.

A reported Cadillac management move involving Marcin Budkowski has surfaced ahead of the team’s 2026 Formula 1 entry, but the material supplied here does not include a primary announcement or a source report detailing that appointment. With confirmation absent, the development remains unconfirmed.

Recent BBC Sport coverage has followed Cadillac’s build-up to its first F1 season, including visits to the team’s factory, a race simulation and the start of the 2026 car build. The same coverage also referenced Valtteri Bottas preparing for a fresh start at Cadillac and mentioned Sergio Perez in connection with the project. Bottas has 256 F1 entries, 10 wins, 19 poles and 67 podiums, and he is listed 22nd in the 2026 drivers’ championship on 0 points.

Separately, Motorsport.com reported that Cadillac received two fines after Perez exceeded the 80km/h pitlane speed limit twice during first practice for the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid. That report was unrelated to the unconfirmed Budkowski claim.
