Overview

• Cadillac says Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas were chosen chiefly for their experience after a thorough evaluation, with commercial appeal described as secondary.
• Sergio Pérez frames the move as a comeback and calls Cadillac his last major Formula 1 project after a year out following his Red Bull exit.
• Valtteri Bottas’ switch ends his Mercedes reserve role, creating an opening that could benefit younger drivers seeking top-team exposure.
• The entry will begin with Ferrari power units and a Cadillac chassis, with an in-house power unit targeted for a later debut.
• Team leaders say a junior pathway is planned but not immediate, reserve and simulator roles remain undecided, Mick Schumacher was not selected, and Cadillac denies talks with Christian Horner.
