Cadillac Unveils 21-Truck Monaco F1 Motorhome After School Site Was Cleared

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 5

Summary

  • Cadillac debuted a modular Formula 1 motorhome in Monaco that needs 21 trucks to transport, marking the new team's first high-profile hospitality setup at the tight street circuit.
  • Monaco made room by demolishing an elementary school and kindergarten after last year's race, with students moved to other schools to free space for the team's motorhome, hospitality areas and garages.
  • The structure is central to team operations and sponsor hosting, serving as a base for meals, meetings and offices during the race weekend.
  • Cadillac's on-track start was less smooth: Sergio Perez finished FP1 in 14th, then saw FP2 cut short by a brake fire that sent smoke into the cockpit.
