I mentioned previously that my son-in-law's sister and her husband are working on the new Cadillac #F1 team that will compete for the first time in 2026. The couple are both engineers who met over a decade ago while working for a racing team in Europe. That experience was why they were recruited and became one of a handful of rare Canadians working on the project team.
I'm not really a #Formula1 race fan but I am following this team because of the connection. They were recently at the auto show in Toronto where the race car was displayed. They shared a photo of them pointing to their names on the chassis, along with the names of the entire team. Track testing is now underway and it will be interesting to see how they stack up against the legendary manufacturers in this sport. -

When I spoke with the couple last fall at a family event they talked about how massive rule changes for the 2026 season provided Cadillac with a unique opportunity. Essentially every team was building a new car to comply with new #F1 regulations. That means Cadillac is not as disadvantaged as they would have been if they had entered the sport in a prior year. Still a huge learning curve. -
