Cadillac's F1 team reached the chequered flag in two consecutive races, with drivers Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas finishing in both China and Japan.
At Suzuka Perez and Bottas out-qualified Aston Martin but remained about 2.3 seconds off the frontrunners in Q1 and roughly one second behind the wider 2026 midfield; Cadillac introduced a revised diffuser in Japan to add rear downforce. The team is preparing further upgrades for its home race in Miami while rivals also plan developments.
Sergio Perez said the progress was promising but emphasised Cadillac must out-develop established rivals to close the gap and improve trackside procedures after only recently running two cars concurrently. Technical consultant Pat Symonds said Cadillac, operating largely from Silverstone while building a headquarters in Fishers, Indiana, has a robust process and budget within the cost cap to pursue an aggressive development programme overseen by chief technical director Nick Chester.
