How do you start a brand new F1 team? Does joining the grid at the start of new regulations give Cadillac an advantage or disadvantage? What are the team’s goals?

Dan also talks about their driver line-up of Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez, Cadillac’s short and long-term engine plans, the role General Motors and TWG Motorsports play in this project, and whether IndyCar star-turned-Cadillac reserve driver Colton Herta could race for the team in the future.
