Cadillac F1 Boss Sacked After 11 Races, Same Fate as Christian Horner?

The Formula 1 world is once again shaken by political turmoil. With the memory of Christian Horner's dismissal from Red Bull Racing still fresh, another top team principal has been forced to swallow a bitter pill: unceremoniously sacked mid-2026.

Graeme Lowdon, the man who spearheaded the birth of debutant team Cadillac Racing, has been surprisingly removed from the Team Principal role by CEO Dan Towriss. The decision came without warning and immediately sparked a wave of speculation in the paddock.

Many believe Lowdon's fate is not unlike the ordeal suffered by Christian Horner. Both were "cast out" by management while competition was heating up. However, if Horner fell due to an internal power struggle at Red Bull, Lowdon had to leave because of a ruthless scoreboard record: zero points from 11 races!

Cadillac CEO Dan Towriss stressed that the decision was purely unilateral from management. The build phase under Lowdon was deemed over, and the team could no longer tolerate a string of poor results and reliability issues that have plagued their driver duo, Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez.

As Lowdon's replacement, Cadillac moved swiftly, appointing former FIA and Alpine executive Marcin Budkowski. This rapid move sparked heated speculation in the paddock: Will Budkowski bring a technical miracle, or will he become the next victim of Cadillac's ruthless management?

Meanwhile, wild rumors circulated that Cadillac was targeting Christian Horner, whose gardening leave ended last month. Although Towriss firmly denied these reports, the F1 paddock remains heated as the team principal transfer market becomes even more uncontrollable.
