For over a year, the new Cadillac Formula One team has had a countdown clock in its headquarters at Silverstone, England, clicking down to the Australian Grand Prix, the opening round of 2026. Last weekend, in Melbourne, the clock had been relocated to its pit garage.
¡°It started at, I think, 480 days and obviously the first 120 odd days of that was very uncertain,¡± Graeme Lowdon, team principal of Cadillac, said in an interview. ¡°When it got to 366 days to go we actually had some certainty.¡±
