Overview

• Cadillac officially confirmed Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Pérez as its race drivers for the brand’s 2026 Formula 1 entry.
• Pérez announced the move on social media as “the next chapter” and described Cadillac as his “last big project” in F1.
• Reports indicate Pérez’s deal runs through the end of 2028, though the team has not disclosed full contract terms.
• Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu backed the choice to rely on known, experienced drivers, with the Bottas–Pérez duo totaling 26 years in F1.
• Cadillac will start as a Ferrari customer in 2026 before pursuing its own power unit, and Alexander Albon noted the 2026 rules reset should make a 2025 layoff no disadvantage.
