Overview
- Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas are confirmed as Cadillac’s inaugural driver pairing for the 2026 season.
- Director Graeme Lowdon says Pérez was chosen on merit and pace, noting popularity was a bonus rather than the deciding factor.
- Pérez began integration with simulator sessions at GM’s Charlotte technical center, which the team views as a key learning tool.
- Ferrari will supply power units and provide a 2023 car for running, though on-track test dates have not been finalized.
- Bottas says his Mercedes reserve duties limit his current involvement, with Cadillac targeting pre-season tests in Barcelona in January and Bahrain in February before a March 8 debut in Australia.
