Pietro Fittipaldi has announced he has joined Cadillac as a development driver and has already been in the simulator.
Fittipaldi, who made two grand prix starts for Haas in the 2020 Sakhir and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix as the replacement for the injured Romain Grosjean, has driven in a variety of series, including WEC and IndyCar, whilst also maintaining an occasional F1 testing programme.
On social media, the grandson of two-time world champion Emerson revealed that he had "been working on the development of the 2026 car through sim testing and full GP simulations" over the previous months.
Cadillac's race drivers for 2026 will be Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez, with former IndyCar driver Colton Herta serving as a test driver whilst he competes in FIA F2 to earn the necessary superlicence points.
