Cadillac F1 announce hunt for THIRD driver
Cadillac F1 team principal Graeme Lowdon acknowledged that they are still searching for a reserve driver as they prepare to join the F1 grid next year. The American team, to be the 11th F1 entry in 2026, made a significant announcement by signing Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas. Despite these experienced drivers, Lowdon recognizes the importance of finding a capable reserve driver to complement the team. They have yet to make any official progress in securing a reserve driver, but it is a crucial part of completing their driver lineup. Speculation around American IndyCar star Colton Herta joining the team as a reserve driver was squashed due to his lack of a Super Licence, with him instead set to be a test driver for Cadillac in F2.
