Overview

• ESPN reports the new team is expected to unveil Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas as its 2026 lineup before the Dutch Grand Prix, with both identified as priority targets early in the process.
• Sources say Alpine made late approaches to the pair as it assessed options, but the drivers are set to join Cadillac instead.
• Cadillac will enter next season as the 11th team and start with Ferrari power units, with General Motors targeting its own engine program for 2029.
• The drivers are expected to begin simulator work and take part in Testing of Previous Cars sessions in older Ferrari machinery this year to accelerate integration.
• Team principal Graeme Lowdon has urged modest expectations for the first season, saying a new entrant should assume it will start at the back.
