Cadillac will make use a rival team’s car to secure enough testing miles as possible prior to its maiden Formula 1 season next year.
Cadillac, the American automotive powerhouse, is planning to use a rival team’s car to accumulate necessary testing miles before its debut in Formula 1 next year as the 11th team in the lineup. The team has already enlisted Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez as its drivers for the upcoming season.
Since Cadillac is a new team, it cannot rely on Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) miles, but it has secured a car from a competitor, with Ferrari being the likely supplier due to their engine partnership. Cadillac is focusing on perfecting the on-track fundamentals as they finalize their 2026 challenger.
Team Principal Graeme Lowdon has revealed that they are already simulating race events to prepare for the season, with extensive work being done to integrate and familiarize team members with race operations. The team is determined to enter 2026 fully prepared and with a high level of enthusiasm for the challenges ahead.
