P1racenews AI automatic summary:
With the likelihood that Cadillac will now be signing two of F1’s most experienced out-of-work drivers, the team might just have placed itself in the best possible place for 2026.
Cadillac appears to have secured a strong position for the 2026 Formula 1 season by potentially signing Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez, providing the team with a wealth of experience and race wins.
The team’s advantage lies in the drivers’ knowledge of navigating an F1 car, which will prove invaluable as the sport faces new regulations next year.
Bottas, with his familiarity with technical regulations from his role as Mercedes’ reserve driver, may give Cadillac an edge in adapting to the changes.
Perez, on the other hand, will be motivated to showcase his worth after being let go by Red Bull, potentially expanding the team’s fanbase with his Mexican heritage.
By choosing seasoned drivers over an American option, Cadillac aims to establish a solid foundation for success in the future World Championships.
