Budkowski reported to lead Cadillac F1 team

Formula1.com reported Marcin Budkowski has been put in charge of Cadillac’s F1 team, while separate reports linked shareholder Mark Walter to legal action.

Formula1.com reported that Marcin Budkowski has been put in charge of the Cadillac Formula 1 team. The outlet also quoted Budkowski saying his return to Formula 1 had been “a bit of a shock to the system”. With no official team announcement in the provided sources, the move remains a reported development rather than a confirmed appointment.

Cadillac entered Formula 1 in 2026 for its first season and has yet to record a race win or a constructors’ title. Motorsport.com reported that the team has been a backmarker in its maiden campaign and said points were still out of reach despite stronger race pace in the Spanish Grand Prix.

Separately, Autosport and Motorsport.com reported that Cadillac shareholder Mark Walter is facing a class-action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Both outlets also said a concurrent investigation into potential fraud involving his insurance companies is ongoing.
