What's going on at Cadillac and Haas? F1 Q&A
BBC Sport F1 correspondent Andrew Benson answers your latest questions before the season resumes with the Dutch Grand Prix.
Cadillac and Haas are two teams in Formula 1 currently facing challenges. Cadillac, led by CEO Dan Towriss, reorganized the team earlier than expected. Lowdon, the team principal, was replaced with Marcin Budkowski after Towriss was dissatisfied with Cadillac's performance during their first 11 races. Cadillac currently trails behind other teams, averaging 1.2 seconds behind the next slowest team, Haas. The team is also dealing with reliability issues, particularly with overheating brakes.
Haas, on the other hand, are slipping down the rankings and are the only team not fully utilizing the budget cap. Despite starting the season strong with their highest-ever points score in 2025, they have since fallen behind other teams. Haas has been overachieving for their size, not spending up to the budget-cap limit. However, they have started to lose ground, currently sitting eighth in the standings. The team's future remains uncertain as they face stiff competition and struggle to keep up with the rest of the field.
