Aston Martin junior driver Jak Crawford, a Formula 2 title contender, is in discussions with Cadillac for a seat for its first Formula 1 season next year. Crawford, in his second year with the Silverstone-based team, moved from Red Bull’s junior program in early 2024. He is currently third in the F2 Drivers’ standings for DAMS Lucas Oil and hopes a championship win can lead to an F1 seat. Competition for Cadillac’s seats includes top drivers like Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez, but Crawford, being American, could have an advantage. Talks with Cadillac are ongoing, and Crawford knows his performance in F2 is crucial in securing an F1 opportunity.
