凯迪拉克F1车队所有者就出售传闻发表强硬声明
凯迪拉克F1车队的所有者TWG Global表示车队不在出售考虑之列，此声明是在美国联邦对亿万富翁马克·沃尔特旗下公司展开调查的背景下发布的。
据凯迪拉克F1车队的所有方TWG Global集团表示，该车队并未被考虑出售。此前，亿万富翁马克·沃尔特正面临美国联邦调查。
沃尔特商业帝国旗下的四家中介公司在美国正因涉嫌其自身公司之间存在未披露贷款而接受调查。
沃尔特近日登上头条，因为他在购入洛杉矶湖人队股份仅14个月后便启动了出售。这引发了外界对他所持其他体育实体未来走向的猜测，其中包括切尔西足球俱乐部、洛杉矶道奇棒球队，以及隶属于其TWG Motorsports投资版图下的赛车车队。
这些赛车车队包括凯迪拉克F1车队，以及Andretti Global的IndyCar和电动方程式（Formula E）车队。
在2026年荷兰大奖赛之前发表的一份声明中，TWG Motorsports表示：“TWG不考虑出售凯迪拉克车队或TWG Motorsport的任何其他部分。”
作为一项顺势之举，车队上周解雇了Graeme Lowdon，并由新车队领队Marcin Budkowski接替。
在谈及接替Lowdon时，Budkowski表示：“车队高层发生了领导层变动，这是由车队最高领导层、所有者以及股东做出的决定。我很荣幸被选中来领导下一个阶段。”
“正如我所说过的，并且我会再次强调，我对Graeme迄今为止所取得的成就怀有极大的尊重和钦佩——他从零开始打造了这支车队，招募了这些人员，并且真正地参赛，展现出的竞争力水平我认为对于一支新车队来说是合理的。”
联邦调查尚未提出任何指控，也没有牵连 Bradford Allen——这家正在与 Andretti Global 的 IndyCar 设施一同开发 凯迪拉克 F1 印第安纳州总部的中介公司——存在任何不当行为，凯迪拉克 F1 车队也没有以任何方式受到牵连。
关于对 Walter 的调查，Budkowski 说："完全没有讨论过这件事，我毫不怀疑这其中没有任何影响。"
"再说一次，新工厂、我的任命，还有我们希望很快就能公布的关键人员。"
"我认为这恰恰展示了这个项目背后的投入和投资。"
TWG Motorsports 首席执行官 Dan Towriss 并未出现在赞德沃特参加荷兰大奖赛，而是本周末在华盛顿特区出席 IndyCar 250 比赛。
英文原文
The Cadillac Formula 1 team is not being considered for sale, according to the TWG Global group that owns it, amid a US federal investigation into billionaire Mark Walter.
Four intermediary companies within Walter's business empire are subject to investigations in the United States over alleged undisclosed loans between his own companies.
Walter made headlines recently as he instigated the sale of his stake in the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team just 14 months after purchasing it. That led to speculation over the future of other sporting entities in which he owns a stake, which include Chelsea Football Club, the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team, and the motorsport teams under his TWG Motorsports investment umbrella.
Those motorsport teams include the Cadillac F1 team and the Andretti Global IndyCar and Formula E teams.
In a statement issued ahead of the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix, TWG Motorsports said: "TWG is not considering a sale of the Cadillac team or any other part of TWG Motorsport."
In a circumstantial move, the team last week ousted Graeme Lowdon and replaced him with new team principal Marcin Budkowski.
On replacing Lowdon, Budkowski said: "There's been a change of leadership at the head of the team, it's been a decision made by the top leadership and the owners and the shareholders of the team. I'm honoured to have been picked to lead that following phase.
"As I said and I will repeat it, I have immense respect and admiration for what's been achieved so far by Graeme for building this team from the ground up, recruiting these people and actually showing up and racing with the level of competitiveness that I think is reasonable for a new team."
The federal investigations have not brought a charge and do not implicate Bradford Allen - the intermediary company that is developing Cadillac F1's Indiana headquarters alongside Andretti Global's IndyCar facilities - in any wrongdoing, nor has Cadillac F1 team been implicated in any way.
Regarding the Walter investigation, Budkowski said, "there was absolutely no discussion about that, there's no doubt for me that there's no influence there".
"Again, the new factory, my appointment, there's key personnel that hopefully we will be able to announce soon as well."
"I think it just shows the commitment and the investment behind the project."
TWG Motorsports CEO Dan Towriss is not present at Zandvoort for the Dutch GP, instead attending the IndyCar 250 race in Washington, DC, this weekend.
