Cadillac Launching Massive Upgrade Package For Canadian GP
For the Canadian Grand Prix, Cadillac F1 is pumping out a major upgrade package that will ideally put them closer to the rest of the grid. In Miami, Cadillac brought in a new front wing, floor, diffuser, and rear suspension, a good handful of improvements to close the margin during their first race on U. S.
soil. For Canada, the first Cadillac F1 car will receive a new brake component, a diffuser change, and improvements to the front of the car. The goal is to improve how the car handles over bumps and curbs, allowing the team to have greater confidence inside the car.

There were tangible qualifying pace improvements, and Perez finished P15 and P13 in the two races, with a small challenge for points. “Miami was a very enjoyable weekend,” Perez added. “We had improved pace from the start, and we showed our ability to bring major upgrades that delivered on track.
This is really encouraging. “Now it’s about refining what we have and extracting the real potential in all elements. There were definite flashes of real progress, and we need to put it all together at the same time.
