The team that could most certainly be fielding the most interesting line up among all, it takes no guesses, is Cadillac. Where it comes to the brand new F1 2026 season, there one could think of a couple of interesting reasons, to begin with, as to why Cadillac may be the team with the most interesting driver line up and here are the two primary reasons:
An experienced driver pairing
Together Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez, formerly, Sauber and Red Bull drivers, respectively, account for 532 race entries. That’s quite a lot and the level of experience that would put them right next to someone like Alonso and Hamilton, given the experience that the Spaniard and Englishman bring to their respective outfits (their co driver’s experience notwithstanding). Having said that, both the Finn as well as the Mexican have been Grand Prix winning drivers. While Bottas, formerly also a Mercedes driver has 10 race wins to his name, Perez with 6 wins and 39 podiums, dosen’t cut a lame picture either.
It will be really interesting to see how two impressive and skilled drivers who have competed in the V12 and V10 era get up to speed with a car they have previously never sat behind in a proper Formula 1 Grand Prix.
A new team always begins from a clean slate and with enormous expectations
Make no mistake about the fact that Cadillac will be competing with the likes of Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull and forget not, McLaren in a bid to contest for the 2026 world title glory. Theirs will be, hopefully, an exciting and gut elevating journey in what’s to come ahead in 2026. With Formula 1 about to undergo live with over 7 weeks left, a lot is on stake for the American team and their hopes are high given the prospect of the Ferrari-powered engine and the car being designed by Nick Chester!
Meanwhile, the CEO the Cadillac Formula Team Holdings, Mr. Dan Towriss happened to share the following insights on the team’s philosophy and delved deep on the look of the brand new car that’s to take to the F1 field for the first time ever:
“Cadillac Formula 1® is committed to innovation on and off the track. TWG combined with General Motors allows us to rethink the norm and introduce the team in bold new ways. Debuting our race livery during a globally televised championship broadcast challenges convention and brings Cadillac Formula 1® to a global audience. Paired with this special-edition testing livery designed by the GM Global Design studios, we’re honouring automotive heritage while looking ahead as we build toward the 2026 season.”
