Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez are set to return to Formula 1 in 2026, racing for the new Cadillac team.
The drivers, both out of a seat for the current season, were chosen for their extensive experience and past success, with Bottas having won 10 races and Perez six.
Cadillac’s decision prioritizes proven talent for their debut season, even as the team’s principal acknowledges they expect to be backmarkers initially.
Both drivers expressed excitement about helping to build the new team from the ground up.
