凯迪拉克F1车队已聘请一位新领队,任命马辛·布德科夫斯基出任该职位,取代格拉姆·洛登。
现年49岁的Budkowski在过去25年中在世界锦标赛中担任过众多角色,曾先后在Prost、法拉利和迈凯伦担任空气动力学工程师,随后执掌国际汽联(FIA)的F1技术部门。
在国际汽联任职之后,Budkowski加入雷诺车队担任执行总监;在2021赛季,他与Davide Brivio以双人组合的形式共同承担车队领队职责,之后离开车队,此后一直从事咨询和评论工作。
“凯迪拉克 Formula 1 Team拥有非凡的基础和雄心,”Budkowski说。
“这是车队面临巨大机遇的阶段,而这个阶段将由一个明确的目标来定义:在成本上限内最大化赛车研发,并让车队的每一个部门都投入竞争。这意味着要打造一支拥有冠军心态的精英组织——充满干劲,面对挫折毫不松懈,对细节和流程执着追求,并能在比赛日精准执行。”
“我的重点将放在统筹我们的人员、工具和信息流上,以便快速做出正确的决策,并让我们每次参赛时赛车性能都能得到提升。能够领导凯迪拉克F1车队的赛道工作是一种荣幸,从下周末的赞德沃特开始。”
这位接受法国教育的波兰人的任务,是在这支新车队适应F1并逐步安顿于印第安纳州正在收尾的新基础设施之际,改善这支垫底车队的命运。凯迪拉克目前在车队积分榜上排名最后,仍在等待其首个世界锦标赛积分。
“Marcin的任命标志着凯迪拉克F1车队持续演进的又一个重要步骤,”首席执行官Dan Towriss补充道。“从一开始,我们的目标就不仅仅是参与F1,而是打造一支能够在最前沿竞争的新一代车队。
“随着我们迈入凯迪拉克F1车队的新时代,Marcin带来了卓越的F1经验、技术专长和战略领导力,这将增强我们的组织实力,帮助我们培养取得长期成功所必需的取胜心态、工具和流程。”
布德科夫斯基的任命意味着前任车队领队洛登将离开车队,洛登于2024年12月被聘用。
“我们感谢格拉姆·洛登(Graeme Lowdon)的领导,以及他在从零开始组建凯迪拉克F1车队过程中所发挥的作用,”托里斯继续说道。“他的贡献帮助我们在组建阶段奠定了坚实的基础,我们感谢他的付出,并祝愿他一切顺利。”

Graeme Lowdon leaves Cadillac, replaced by new team principal

Graeme Lowdon, Team Principal of Cadillac F1 Team
The Cadillac Formula 1 outfit has hired a new team principal, appointing Marcin Budkowski to the position instead of Graeme Lowdon.
Budkowski, 49, has held a myriad of roles in the world championship over the past 25 years, working as an aerodynamicist at Prost, Ferrari and McLaren before heading the FIA’s F1 technical department.
Following his FIA stint, Budkowski joined the Renault squad as an executive director; he shared the team principal duties in a dual set-up alongside Davide Brivio in the 2021 season before leaving the outfit, and has since engaged in consulting and punditry.
“Cadillac Formula 1 Team has an extraordinary foundation and ambition,” Budkowski said.
“This is a phase of huge opportunity for the team, one that will be defined by a clear objective: maximising car development within the cost cap and turning every team function on to compete. That means building an elite organisation with a winning mindset - driven, relentless in the face of setbacks, obsessed with detail and process, and able to execute with precision on race day.
“My focus will be on aligning our people, tools and information flow so the right decisions are made quickly, and the performance of the car improves every time we go racing. It is a privilege to be leading Cadillac Formula 1 Team’s on-track efforts, starting in Zandvoort next weekend.”
The French-educated Pole’s mission will be to improve the backmarker’s fortunes as the new team adapts to F1 and settles into new infrastructure currently being finalised in Indiana. Cadillac currently lies last in the constructors’ standings, awaiting its maiden world championship points.
“Marcin's appointment marks another important step in the continued evolution of the Cadillac Formula 1 Team,” CEO Dan Towriss added. “From the beginning, our goal has not been simply to participate in Formula 1, but to build a next-generation team capable of competing at the very front.
“As we enter this new era for the Cadillac Formula 1 Team, Marcin brings exceptional F1 experience, technical expertise and strategic leadership that will strengthen our organisation and help us develop the winning mindset, tools and processes required for long-term success.”
Budkowski’s appointment means previous team principal Lowdon, who had been hired in December 2024, will leave the team.
“We’re grateful to Graeme Lowdon for his leadership and the role he played in forming the Cadillac Formula 1 Team from the ground up,” Towriss continued. “His contributions helped establish a strong foundation in our build-up phase, and we thank him for his commitment and wish him well.”
