Cadillac's executive engineering consultant Pat Symonds has called the scale of setting up a Formula 1 team from scratch "frightening", as the American brand prepares for its first season in 2026.
Symonds joined the team at the start of this year after serving a lengthy gardening leave period following his departure from FOM, where he served as chief technical officer. Working for the championship, he was an influential figure in the development of the 2022 regulations.
