David Croft praises Cadillac's no-excuses approach after F1 Hungarian GP

Sky Sports Formula 1 commentator David Croft has commended the new Cadillac F1 team for their refusal to accept leniency following a challenging weekend at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The 11th team to join the F1 grid in 2026, Cadillac runs Ferrari power units with a driver line-up of Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas. Despite being plagued by reliability issues, the team's management does not grant themselves any special treatment.

After both Perez and Bottas retired due to brake fires, Croft was impressed by the team's attitude. During a review on Sky Sports F1 Show, Croft observed that Cadillac team members were frustrated and determined to get to the bottom of the problem. Croft believes that this mindset is commendable and a positive sign for the future of Formula 1, especially as the team will face more challenging tracks like Singapore and Malaysia.
