Research notes and caveats

Included only for completeness of Cadillac's announced engineering-adjacent hires. Pagenaud is a development/simulator driver, NOT a race engineer; his presence was mentioned in the F1i article alongside the RE announcements. He is not part of the race-engineer pairings and should not be treated as one. Listed at low confidence; details beyond the dev/simulator role are from general knowledge of his racing career, not the Cadillac source.
