Sergio Perez takes to the track with Cadillac – but there’s a twist
Cadillac F1 star Sergio Perez has begun his preparations for the 2026 season by practicing in the simulator at the team’s Silverstone facility. Cadillac, entering F1 as the 11th team on the grid, has signed Perez and Valtteri Bottas for their debut season. Despite their experienced lineup, team principal Graeme Lowdon anticipates Cadillac to be running last of the 11 outfits in their first year. The team will be using Ferrari engines for the first two seasons and have multiple operating bases across the United States. Lowdon emphasized the team’s low expectations and the need to assume a new team will finish last in F1 to set the right mindset for competition.
