Cadillac Enters the F1 Scene
The excitement continues to build as the new Cadillac F1 team prepares for its debut in the 2026 season. Team principal Graeme Lowdon has confirmed that they are “advancing discussions” with a number of drivers as they weigh their options for the upcoming season. This marks Cadillac’s entry into Formula 1 as the 11th team, backed by automotive giant General Motors and TWG Global.
Driver Prospects for Cadillac
Since the announcement of their entry in March, Cadillac has received interest from a long list of talented drivers eager to join the grid. According to Lowdon, this influx of interest comes as a direct result of the two new seats being added for next season. Potential candidates include former race winners like Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas, who are both looking to regain their positions after losing their seats at the end of last season.
Competitive Landscape and Future Goals
Additionally, the team has seen connections with other promising racers, such as former Sauber driver Zhou Guanyu and Aston Martin reserve Felipe Drugovich. The competitive landscape in F1 is set to heat up with the introduction of the Cadillac team, as they aim to make a significant impact in their inaugural season. Lowdon’s focus on assembling a strong driver lineup is key to establishing the team’s identity and competitiveness for the challenges ahead.
