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

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

Crolla joined Haas from McLaren in 2015. His first positio🦩n 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 aꦅn instrumental role alongside former Haa🍸s team principal Guenther Steiner in helping to build the team up from back markers to midfield runners.

Following his departu🧸re from Haas 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 the FIA is believed to be in the final💫 stages of signing off Cadillac’s entౠry.

Crolla becomes the latest 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.

“This is very much a start-up, but a few key people have been working really hard for ovꦦer a year now and𒆙 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 foundational w🦩ork💎 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 fo💯rmer Manor F1 boss Graeme Lowdon will be the team principaꦏl of Cadillac.
