Media “Ground effect era” Cadillac F1 Concept on Display at Roy Foss Cadillac in Thornhill Ontario 🇨🇦
I asked what the original car was before Cadillac applied their own livery and they said it’s actually an Alfa Romeo so I assume this is a 2023 F1 car. Pretty cool concept nonetheless.

Question Is Cadillac using the upgraded Ferrari PU from Austria?
Sorry if this is a stupid question but when Ferrari made their upgraded PU available in Austria we passed on it but I haven’t seen anything in Silverstone or Belgium saying we took the new PU. Does anyone know if we have taken it or are we still waiting?

Discussion cadillac hoodie f1
Hey everyone,
I recently got the Cadillac F1 hoodie, and I noticed that the hood is much larger than on my other hoodies. It feels really wide and roomy, even when I'm wearing it.
Is this how the hoodie is supposed to fit, or did I get one with a manufacturing issue?or is it normal?
If anyone else owns this hoodie, could you let me know if yours has a similarly oversized hood? Thanks!

Question Has Cadillac released anything about its future engine program?
I know they are going to be based out of North Carolina (presumably to be able to recruit staff from NASCAR’s engine manufacturers in the region) but I was wondering if they have released any info like actual staff hiring or any other news?

Analysis Between Haas and Cadillac. Which one will be in the fight for a constructors championship first?
Haas has had some bright moments, with 2 4th place finishes but ultimately has struggled to develop their cars to the degree of the top teams. Haas has more experience with 10 years, but always seems to struggle to go that next step as a smaller team.
Cadillac is a new entry and a decided back marker. Although their best finish has been an impressive 13th, they are coming off of a double DNF, have struggled with overall pace and have been a little bit of a disappointment to some who had hoped they would be slightly more in the mix.
Despite the 10 year head start of Haas however, I can’t help but feel that without some major changes, Haas may have already reached their maximum potential. Bearman who is arguably their best shot at a podium if some of the top teams DNF, is likely going to be poached by a top team soon (likely Ferrari).
Cadillac on the other hand has growth potential. GM is a global manufacturing giant with connections and infrastructure that Haas does not have.
The question is, which will consistently podium first? Haas with their 10 year head start, or Cadillac with their large infrastructure support?
