Cadillac Targets Major Upgrade for Miami GP to Close Performance Gap

Cadillac F1 Team drivers Perez and Bottas are pushing for a major car upgrade to be ready for the Miami GP, identifying a critical lack of aerodynamic load as the primary issue. The team aims to use the April break to develop new parts and close a performance gap estimated at one second per lap.

Cadillac is reportedly preparing a significant car upgrade for its debut home race at the Miami Grand Prix, with drivers Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas emphasizing the team urgently needs to find around a second per lap to become competitive. The new American outfit has spent the early part of the 2026 season at the back of the grid but sees the enforced April break as a crucial period to develop and bring forward new parts aimed at generating more downforce.
