Mercedes star named in ideal Cadillac F1 driver lineup
Former Haas chief Guenther Steiner believes experienced drivers like Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez should be considered for Cadillac’s 2026 Formula 1 team debut. Steiner suggested that in a young team, it’s wise to have drivers who can accelerate the team’s progress, rather than rookies. Bottas, who previously raced for Mercedes, and Perez, recently released by Red Bull, are seen as viable candidates by Steiner for Cadillac. Cadillac team principal Graeme Lowdon has hinted at the possibility of having an American driver like IndyCar star Colton Herta onboard. As preparations intensify for Cadillac’s entry, securing the right driver lineup is shaping up to be a significant decision for the American outfit.
