凯迪拉克否认卡马拉2027年传闻，但称“情况可能变化”
凯迪拉克F1车队CEO丹·托里斯否认了车队正在考虑签下F2领跑者拉斐尔·卡马拉参加2027赛季的报道，但承认“事情总是会变的”。此前有报道称，这支使用法拉利引擎的车队在关注这位法拉利青训车手，希望让他成为下赛季的正式车手之一。
凯迪拉克称拉斐尔·卡马拉2027年的传闻“未经证实”，但承认“情况总是可能改变”
CEO丹·托里斯坚称最新的传闻“未经证实”，但不排除明年车手阵容发生变动
凯迪拉克F1车队CEO丹·托里斯驳斥了有关车队正在考虑让F2领跑者拉斐尔·卡马拉于2027年加盟的报道，不过他承认“情况总是可能改变”。
Motorsport在匈牙利大奖赛期间披露，这家使用法拉利动力的车队正在关注卡马拉，希望让这位法拉利青训车手下赛季成为其正式车手之一。
作为现任三级方程式冠军，卡马拉（Camara）在F2的新秀赛季迄今表现出色。这位Invicta 比赛车手在过去六站中拿下了四次杆位，并赢得两场比赛，目前在车手积分榜上排名第三，落后领跑者尼古拉·措洛夫（Nikola Tsolov）22分。
如果凯迪拉克要给卡马拉一个席位，那将以牺牲一位资深现任车手为代价，即塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯（Sergio Perez），或者更可能是瓦尔特利·博塔斯（Valtteri Bottas）——后者整体上比他的队友略慢。
在一场专门为马尔钦·布德科夫斯基（Marcin Budkowski）接替即将离任的格雷姆·洛登（Graeme Lowdon）出任车队领队而举行的新闻发布会上，托里斯（Towriss）被问及卡马拉明年可能加入凯迪拉克的问题，他回答说：“这是一个很好的问题，即一位年轻车手[能否]加入并推动车队前进。这当然是我们会考虑的事情。
“我们有两名经验丰富的车手，我们对他们非常满意，他们正在推动车队前进，我们也会继续鞭策他们。”
Towriss 补充道：“我知道外面有一些关于年轻车手的传闻。这些传闻没有根据，所以我不会去关注它。我们目前并没有把注意力放在这上面。”

不过，这位美国人明确表示，关于凯迪拉克 2027 年车手阵容的决定尚未最终敲定。
“不过我要加一个限定条件，”他说，“这是 Formula 1，事情总是可能发生变化的。目前 2027 年没有计划做出任何变动，但事情总是可能改变的。”
与此同时，Budkowski 被问及聘用 Camara 是否会改善凯迪拉克与动力单元供应商法拉利之间的关系，但这位新任车队负责人回避了这个问题，只是深入探讨了车队如何将其动力总成的潜力发挥到极致。

Cadillac claims Rafael Camara 2027 rumour is “unsubstantiated”, yet admits “things can change”
CEO Dan Towriss insists the latest rumours are “unsubstantiated”, but doesn’t rule out a driver line-up change for next year
Cadillac Formula 1 team CEO Dan Towriss has refuted reports that the team is looking at Formula 2 frontrunner Rafael Camara for 2027, albeit admitting that “things can always change”.
Motorsport revealed at the Hungarian Grand Prix that the Ferrari-powered outfit was tracking Camara with a view to make the Scuderia’s junior one of its race drivers for next season.
As the reigning Formula 3 champion, Camara has impressed so far in his rookie season in F2. The Invicta Racing driver has taken four of the last six pole positions and won two races to stand third in the drivers’ championship, 22 points down on leader Nikola Tsolov.
If Cadillac were to give Camara a seat, this would be at the expense of one of the veteran incumbents, Sergio Perez or more likely Valtteri Bottas - who has been slightly slower than his team-mate overall.
In a press conference dedicated to Marcin Budkowski’s appointment as team principal in place of the outgoing Graeme Lowdon, Towriss was asked about Camara potentially joining Cadillac next year and replied: “It's a great question, whether a younger driver [can] come in and push the team. It's certainly something that we think about.
“We've got two experienced drivers that we're very happy with, that are pushing the team, and we'll continue to push them.
“I know there's been some of the rumours out there with some of the young drivers,” Towriss added. “They're not substantiated, so that's not something I would focus on. We're not focused on that at the moment.”

However, the American made it clear that no definitive decision had been made about Cadillac’s 2027 line-up.
“I'll throw the caveat, though,” he said. “It's Formula 1, and things can always change. There are no changes planned at the moment for ‘27, but things can always change.”
Meanwhile, Budkowski was asked if hiring Camara would improve Cadillac’s ties with power unit supplier Ferrari, but the new team principal dodged the question and simply delved into ways the team can exploit its powertrain to the best of its potential.
