Valtteri Bottas, the reserve driver for Mercedes in Formula 1, is a top contender to join the Cadillac team in the upcoming season as they enter the championship.
Key personnel from Cadillac will be present at the British Grand Prix, including team principal Graeme Lowdon and the head of TWG Group, Dan Towriss, who is driving the project forward.
Discussions will take place at Silverstone to finalize the team’s driver lineup, with the aim of signing the first driver in a few weeks and potentially securing the second driver by September.
While Sergio Perez was initially a frontrunner, Bottas has emerged as a strong candidate due to his expressed desire to return to F1 full-time.
If Cadillac aims for a mix of experience and youth, Felipe Drugovich is a potential candidate for the second seat, as he seeks a full-time F1 opportunity after being the reserve driver for Aston Martin.
Both Bottas and Drugovich have chosen to focus on securing an F1 seat, with negotiations with Cadillac presenting a promising opportunity for both drivers.
