Cadillac brings significant updates to Austria

Cadillac is heading to the Austrian Grand Prix with a bold ambition, bringing a "substantial" upgrade package as they hunt for their first points of the 2026 season. The team is clearly hungry to bridge the gap to the midfield, and after Sergio Perez was cruelly demoted from P10 to P15 in Monaco due to a start infringement, they are eager to prove that progress is real.

It hasn't been an easy road, especially with the concerning brake and overheating issues that plagued Valtteri Bottas, including a messy exit during FP3 and a retirement in Barcelona. Team Principal Graeme Lowdown is banking on new sidepods and a revised floor to stabilize their trajectory. As Lowdown noted, managing the logistics while pushing for performance is a massive challenge, but the team remains focused on the steep learning curve.

Both drivers are holding onto optimism as they face the heat and elevation of the Red Bull Ring. Perez is energized by the factory's relentless development rate, while Bottas, who has tasted success here with Williams and Mercedes in the past, is looking to lean on his history at the circuit to deliver a result.
