The decision is finally here, and Cadillac has announced its driver line-up for the 2026 F1 season.
Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez both return to grand prix racing following a year out in 2024, by forming an uber-experienced line-up of 527 grand prix starts.
They will be the third-most experienced line-up of all-time, after Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll at Aston Martin (currently 596 starts) and Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc at Ferrari (currently 531 starts).
The pair have won 16 grands prix between them and been part of two world championship-winning teams in Mercedes and Red Bull, and have also navigated the fearsome F1 midfield that Cadillac will be hoping to challenge in next season.
