凯迪拉克公布三项高层技术任命
凯迪拉克车队宣布三项高层技术任命，包括前红牛首席开发工程师克雷格·斯金纳、前阿斯顿·马丁空气动力学主管埃里克·布兰丁以及拥有迈凯伦、红牛和法拉利经验的蒂姆·利恩。
凯迪拉克已透露，它做出了三项拥有F1顶级车队经验的高层任命。
其中之一是新任首席开发工程师克雷格·斯金纳，他在今年早些时候离开红牛，此前已在该车队工作20年。
斯金纳曾帮助红牛打造成为冠军之师，在凯迪拉克他将“在整个开发过程中提供技术方向，支持车辆概念、空气动力学设计、分析与交付之间的衔接”。
他将向首席技术官尼克·切斯特汇报，后者是凯迪拉克在尚未获得F1参赛资格前最早的重要签约之一。
另一位新员工是埃里克·布兰丁，他曾在法拉利和梅赛德斯担任高级空气动力学职务，后加入阿斯顿·马丁，在丹·法洛斯手下担任副技术总监。
但到2025年，他作为阿德里安·纽维主导的车队技术部门重组的一部分而离职，该重组共有七人离开。
布兰丁加入凯迪拉克担任新的空气动力学主管，同样向首席技术官切斯特汇报。
第三位新员工是凯迪拉克新任空气动力学建模与仿真首席工程师蒂姆·利恩。
利恩加入时拥有在迈凯伦、红牛和法拉利共计20年的工作经验。
他将向新任空气动力学主管布兰丁汇报。
新任车队老板马尔钦·布德科夫斯基称这些任命是“车队技术演进的关键一步”。
“将开发、空气动力学和建模方面的经验丰富的领导层聚集在一起，将帮助我们创建一个更强大的综合技术组织，并提升赛道表现。克雷格、埃里克和蒂姆为凯迪拉克F1带来了比赛和冠军经验，这些领域对我们长期发展至关重要。”
英文原文
Cadillac has revealed it has made three high-profile appointments with experience in Formula 1’s top teams.
One of them is its new chief development engineer Craig Skinner, who departed Red Bull earlier this year after 20 years with the team.
Skinner helped build Red Bull into a championship-winning force, and at Cadillac he will “provide technical direction across the development process, supporting the connection between car concept, aerodynamic design, analysis and delivery”.
He’ll report to chief technical officer Nick Chester, who was one of Cadillac’s first major signings before it had even secured an F1 entry.
Another new hire is Eric Blandin, who held senior aero roles at Ferrari and Mercedes before joining Aston Martin as deputy technical director under Dan Fallows.
But by 2025 he was out as part of an Adrian Newey-led reshuffle of the team’s technical department, with seven exits.
Blandin joins Cadillac as its new head of aerodynamics, also reporting to CTO Chester.
The third hire is Cadillac’s new chief engineer for aerodynamics modelling and simulation, Tim Lean.
Lean joins with a combined 20 years of experience working for McLaren, Red Bull and Ferrari.
He will report into new aerodynamics head Blandin.
New team boss Marcin Budkowski called the hires a “vital step in the technical evolution of the team.”
“Bringing together experienced leadership across development, aerodynamics and modelling will help us create a stronger integrated technical organisation and improve performance on track. Craig, Eric and Tim bring race and championship-winning experience to Cadillac F1 in areas that are central to our long-term development.”
