Dan Towriss, CEO of TWG Global’s motorsport business, added: “Graeme has been advising our team for the last two years as we have built out our operations; his experience on both the technical and managerial sides of Formula 1 and other motorsports ventures will serve him well as he builds the Cadillac Formula 1 team.”
General Motors President Mark Reuss also said: “Graeme has been a pleasure to work with over the past two years and we’re excited he will lead our journey to the 2026 Formula 1 grid as Team Principal. He has great racing expertise, he knows how to assemble a high-performing team, and he embodies the values the Cadillac Formula 1 Team will represent in all its endeavors, on or off the track.”
Lawrence Barretto says…
Given how intrinsic Graeme Lowdon has been in the building of the project that reached an agreement in principle with Formula 1 to bring General Motors/Cadillac into the sport as the 11th team in 2026, it’s no surprise to see him announced as their Team Principal.
Lowdon has spent the last two years as an advisor to the American project, that already has a staff that exceeds 280 staff that includes former Renault Technical Director Nick Chester and former Renault operations chief Rob White.
The 59-year-old has extensive motorsport experiencing, including as president and sporting director of a Formula 1 team that began life as Virgin Racing back in 2010.
