Dan Taurus

Cadillac is preparing for its first race in F1.

Dan Taurus is the team's CEO.

He says it's the culmination of a years-long effort.

As a new team, Cadillac's expected to have two of the slower cars in Sunday's race in Australia, but Taurus believes Cadillac will eventually win.

With experienced drivers in Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas, Cadillac is hoping not to finish last in Melbourne.

That honour might go to Aston Martin, which looks miles off the pace in practice.
