Cadillac ready to raid shock F1 team to complete driver line-up
Cadillac is considering signing Valtteri Bottas to their team over Sergio Perez due to his commitment and personality, according to a recent report by AutoAction.
Bottas has not announced an official deal yet, but it is reported that he agreed to terms with Cadillac during the British Grand Prix weekend in July.
Aston Martin reserve driver Felipe Drugovich is also a likely candidate to partner Bottas in 2026, as he has shown speed and confidence during recent F1 testing sessions.
Cadillac’s team principal, Graeme Lowdon, expressed the team’s focus on selecting drivers based on merit, regardless of nationality, with a preference for competitiveness in the world championship.
The team’s 2026 driver decision may not be in sync with other teams, but they are taking the time to evaluate their options carefully.
