Felipe Drugovich emerges as possible Cadillac F1 contender alongside Valtteri Bottas
According to Autosport, Felipe Drugovich is a candidate to become Valtteri Bottas’ F1 teammate for Cadillac in 2026. As Aston Martin’s test and reserve driver, he has impressed during his F2 title-winning year. Despite his potential, Drugovich has yet to secure a full-time F1 seat. Even with strong performances in FP1 sessions, he may only get a chance if Alonso or Stroll are unavailable. Although Stroll missed a race, Drugovich couldn’t replace him due to timing issues. Cadillac is weighing various options for their 2026 lineup, with Bottas and Perez being strong contenders, along with drivers like Drugovich, Schumacher, and Zhou.
