FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem reflected on the backlash he faced for bringing Cadillac into Formula 1 as an eleventh team. "It looked like I had committed a crime to add Cadillac," Ben Sulayem said, recalling how strongly the idea was resisted. He framed his vision as a simple one: to expand the championship rather than divide the resources of the teams already on the grid. With Cadillac now on the grid, the fight he took on has become part of the sport's furniture. πΈπ° via @ThisIsFormu1a1 #F1 #FIA #Cadillac
