Overview

• Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas were formally confirmed as Cadillac’s 2026 race drivers, combining roughly 527 grands prix, 16 wins and 106 podiums.
• Team leadership said extensive evaluations led to an experience-first choice, with commercial pull acknowledged but described as secondary to performance.
• Pérez framed his return as a chance to enjoy the sport and called Cadillac his last major project, adding he feels no need to prove anything.
• Cadillac will start as a Ferrari customer with its own chassis in 2026 and targets a dedicated Cadillac power unit in later years.
• Bottas’ move vacates Mercedes’ reserve role and, with Mick Schumacher missing out on a Cadillac seat, the driver market still has several unresolved spots.
