Cadillac’s F1 line-up branded ‘really boring’ as ‘drivers won’t make car quicker’
Former F1 team manager Peter Windsor criticized Cadillac’s 2026 driver line-up as “unbelievably boring”, highlighting that past experience may not translate to speed. Cadillac unveiled Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez as their 2026 drivers on Tuesday. Bottas and Perez are highly experienced, having competed in over 200 races each. Both drivers left the 2025 grid after failing to secure seats at Sauber and Red Bull, respectively. Windsor, unimpressed with Cadillac’s choice, suggested Mercedes junior Frederik Vesti would have been a better pick due to his current F1 experience and association with Mercedes. Windsor emphasized that driver experience does not always guarantee success, as performance is ultimately dependent on the car.
