The Cadillac Formula 1 team has undertaken significant construction, including the demolition of an elementary school and kindergarten in Monaco, to accommodate its expanded presence at the circuit. This action was necessary due to the limited space in Monaco and the requirement for larger facilities, including a new modular motorhome that necessitates 21 trucks for transport. The children who attended the school have been relocated to other schools in the area. The demolition began the day after last year's race concluded. This move underscores Monaco's dedication to hosting Formula 1, even if it involves the removal of existing structures. While the team's new facilities are impressive, their on-track performance on the first day of action was mixed, with Sergio Perez's practice session being cut short by a brake fire.
