Cadillac have signed long-serving Haas veteran Peter Crolla as their first F1 team manager.

The General Motorꦚs-led entry have bolstered their team with the appointment of Crolla ahead of their expected entry 💫as F1’s 11th team in 2026.

Crolla joined Haas from McLaren in 2015. His first position at the American squad was team coordinator💖, before he was promoted to team manager in 2017, and later served as trackside operations manager between 2021 and 2022.

He played an💫 instrumental role alongside former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner in helping to build the team up from back markers to midfield runners.

Following his departure f🌜rom Ha🍷as at the end of 2024, Crolla has been snapped up by Cadillac in what marks a significant coup for the team.

F1’s governing body ඣthe FIA is believed to be in the final stages of signing off Cadillac’ꦫs entry.

Crolla becomes the lat🌃est big name to join 🐟the venture, following the signing of F1 veteran Pat Symonds last month.

🤡Writing on LinkedIn last month, Symonds said: “I hadn’t been sure what to expect.

“T🉐his is very much a start-up, but a few key people have been working really hard for over a year now and what they have achieved is remarkable.

“Even though I have worked with most of them before and know the quality of their work, I was still hugely impressed, not just with the progress on the car itself, but with the solid foundati🌳onal work behind it.

“I truly believe that we can put ♕a car on the grid in 2026 that will be a credit to the team and Formula 1 itself.”

In December it was announced that former Manor F1 boss Graeme Lowd꧙on will be the team principal of Cadillac.
