凯迪拉克F1车队领队格拉姆·洛登就该车队目前仍在建设中的基础设施发布了最新进展。
F1最新的车队在多个地点运营，主要以其位于英国银石的总部为中心，同时充分利用通用汽车在北卡罗来纳州和密歇根州的设施，并使用丰田位于德国科隆的风洞。
凯迪拉克正在印第安纳波利斯郊外的费舍尔建造一座新的F1工厂，而其动力单元部门将设在夏洛特地区，母公司已经扎根于此。
与此同时，车队仍在追逐首次进入第二节排位赛（Q2）以及首个世界锦标赛积分。
“我们仍在建设之中，”洛登说，“这就像一边飞行一边造飞机，或者一边航行一边造船。我们目前仍是如此。我们仍在建造工厂。
“在我办公桌旁边放着一些钢头安全靴和安全帽，我们会去参观建筑工地。一个非常非常大的工地在印第安纳波利斯，然后还有一个比较小的在银石。另外很明显，动力单元公司也正在夏洛特建造工厂。
“我们仍在疯狂地招人，所以还有很多的建设工作正在进行。然后今年第二季度也让我们开始了解MAC-26的优势和劣势，同时也了解了车队在运作方面的优势和劣势。
“我们喜欢说每一天都是学习日。如果某一天我们没有学到东西，那这一天就被浪费了。所以我们只是努力寻找每一个可以改进的地方，不断地、不断地改进。
“而在目前这个阶段，需要改进的是大块的内容，因为有太多的事情要做，而且也有很多全新的东西。所以我们离那种只做精细打磨的阶段还有一段距离，我想其他很多车队可能更多处于那个阶段。”
至于菲什斯的工厂，洛登暗示“很快会有更多关于各项设施何时投入使用的公告”，新模拟器“目前正在安装中”。
“它目前还在建设之中，”这位英国车手解释道。“它将分阶段完成，因为面积达45万平方英尺，规模不小。”
当被问及菲什斯的设施是否明年启动时，洛登回答：“大致上来说，是的。那里的整个建设工程已经非常成熟，但这是一个庞大的项目。
“银石赛道那边也有很多事情正在进行，很多设施即将投入使用。”

Cadillac gives update on its under-construction F1 factories
The team’s new American base is still taking shape in Indiana
Graeme Lowdon, Team Principal, Cadillac F1 Team, looks on from the grid.
Cadillac Formula 1 team principal Graeme Lowdon has given an update on the outfit’s current infrastructure, which is still being developed.
F1’s newest squad operates from several locations, mainly its Silverstone hub in the United Kingdom, while it makes the most of General Motors facilities in North Carolina and Michigan, and uses Toyota’s wind tunnel in Cologne (Germany).
Cadillac has been building a new F1 factory in Fishers, in the Indianapolis suburbs, while its power unit department will come to light in the Charlotte area where the parent company is already based.
Meanwhile, the team keeps chasing its first Q2 appearance and maiden world championship points.
“We're still building,” Lowdon said. “It's building the plane while flying in it, or the ship while we're sailing in it. We are still doing that. We're still building factories.
“Next to my desk are some steel toecap boots and a hard hat, and we go and look at construction sites. A very, very big one in Indianapolis, and then a smaller one in Silverstone. And obviously the PU company is building the factory down in Charlotte as well.
“We're still recruiting like mad as well, and so there's still an awful lot of building going on. And then Q2 of this year has kind of allowed us to start understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the MAC-26 as well, and also the strengths and weaknesses of the team operationally.
“We like to say every day is a school day. If it's a day where we haven't learned something, it's a day we've wasted. And so we're just trying to find every area that we can improve and constantly, constantly improve.
“And at the minute, it's big chunks because there's just so much to do and there's so much that's new as well. And so we're somewhere off that area where you're just refining things, where I think a lot of the other teams are probably more in that mode.”
As far as the Fishers factory is concerned, Lowdon hinted at “more announcements soon about when various things will come online”, with the new simulator “going in as we speak”.
“It's still in construction at the moment,” the Briton explained. “It'll be phased, because it's 450,000 square feet. It's not small.”
Asked if things would start next year at Fishers, Lowdon replied: “In broad terms, yes. It's very well advanced, the whole construction there, but it's a huge project.
“There's a lot happening and coming online at Silverstone as well.”
