According to reports, Cadillac is considering replacing Valtteri Bottas in its Formula 1 team with its current test driver and Formula 2 hopeful Colton Herta.
The American team is currently in its inaugural season in the sport, with Bottas and Sergio Perez as its first driver line-up.
Although fans initially criticized the choice of two veteran drivers, it was seen as a logical decision due to their experience and eagerness to return to racing.
However, reports suggest that Bottas’ performance compared to Perez may lead to him losing his seat.
Colton Herta, who is currently a test driver and Formula 2 racer for Cadillac, is rumored to be waiting for his chance to move up to F1.
Herta will need to earn enough FIA Super License points to secure the drive, but his growing reputation within the team could give him an advantage.
Despite speculation surrounding Bottas’ future with the team, Cadillac has not yet commented on the situation.
