Cadillac have officially announced that Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez will be their two drivers for the 2026 season. The newly-formed American team will make their debut on the grid next year and have opted for experience ahead of their inaugural campaign. Bottas has been serving as Mercedes’ test and reserve driver since leaving Sauber at the end of last season.
Perez has been out of work for the same length of time, having been sacked by Red Bull following last year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Both drivers had been heavily linked with moves to Cadillac for 2026 and their arrivals have now been officially confirmed. They announced the news via X (formerly Twitter) with a cinematic video featuring actor Keanu Reeves.
