Mark Walter’s Cadillac F1 Team Still Has Zero Points After Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Mark Walter’s Cadillac F1 Team Still Has Zero Points After Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Cadillac's Formula 1 team has yet to earn a single point after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, despite having a driver in the race. Sergio Pérez finished 14th while teammate Valtteri Bottas was unable to complete the race. If they do not secure a top-10 finish in the next eight races, Cadillac will become the first team since Haas in 2021 to go through the entire F1 calendar without accumulating any points.

Currently, Cadillac is in striking distance of 10th-place Aston Martin and potentially could join ninth-place Williams, which holds 12 points. The owner of the team, Mark Walter, has been under scrutiny lately as he has been involved in a federal investigation for fraud and is currently the subject of a class action lawsuit alleging misrepresentation of policyholder-backed investments in sports teams.

Walter's sports empire, which includes stakes in the Dodgers, Lakers, Sparks, and the Professional Women's Hockey League, is being unwound, with recent sales including the Lakers and Chelsea. With no points for his drivers and the team's legal troubles becoming public, the selling price for Cadillac might reflect its current standing in the race standings.
