2026 Cadillac driver lineup soon to be revealed

Cadillac are a new F1 team joining the sport in 2026, taking the Ferrari engine and will eventually build their own for 2028 with General Motors on board and being led by Graeme Lowdon the team are looking to make a statement first season in the peak of motorsport.


There has been endless rumours flying about who the drivers will be and according to multiple sources names like: Drugovich, Dunne, Pourchaire, Tsunoda, Crawford, Zhou and Schumacher have been suggested that there have at least been talks to join the American outfit.

However, 2 names have always been in the conversation and in the past, speculation had bought forward the idea of Cadillac having 1 experienced driver and 1 rookie to take up their lineup but more recently it is more likely that they may go with 2 experienced heads to fully generate maximum feedback on the car from people who have been around for a while.

Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas are the candidates to take the spots.








Bottas, being released from Sauber at the end of last year and landing a reserve driver role at his old and most successful team Mercedes AMG and a reserve spot for Mclaren too and with experience with the Ferrari engine looks very likely to take a spot unless Alpine look to highjack him over Colapinto. Bottas still has a 5 place grid penalty to serve if he gets the place for an incident involving him and Kevin Magnussen in Abu Dhabi 2024.

Perez was essentially fired from Redbull after constant bad results mid season and towards the end of the year and now has fully taken time away from F1 and apparently just wants a stable contract before he makes a formal return even though Cadillac are not expected to be a top team.

The Race made a youtube video looking at 2026 driver lineups and included the pair for the Cadillac drives and with 16x F1 wins between them this lineup looks the most likely and will be confirmed later this season.

Mercedes F1 Boss and Redbull Superstar Spotted in Sardinia

Image
Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 CEO and team part-owner Toto Wolff has been spotted in Sardinia on his yacht with 4x World Drivers Champion Max Verstappen as tensions begin to rise over the future of the Mercedes driver line-up with lots of rumours spreading about where current driver George Russell sits in this conversation. Here we can see the two having 'a laugh together' on the yacht. Verstappen mentioned at the pre weekend interviews at the Hungarian Grand Prix tha t "you can have a personal relationship with someone even if you don't have a working relationship with someone." and "If his boat is next to Toto's then it's next to Toto's." Regardless of his comments the two were spotted together. Max saying he is staying with Redbull Racing for 2026 but could a move on the table be there for 2027? Max not being 4th or lower in the 2025 Drivers Standings means he is not able to walk out of Redbull for free anymore and more than likely a buy...

Redbull Racing looking likely to keep same driver lineup aswell as sister team VCARB for 2026

Image
Formula 1 team Redbull Racing are widely known for their ruthless driver changes over the years and if a driver is underperforming, they will be easily replaced with the phrase "anyone is replaceable" living up to expectation, even in the peak of motorsport. In 2025, Redbull were at it again and within 2 races Liam Lawson was replaced by VCARB driver Yuki Tsunoda just before Tsunoda's home race in Suzuka , Japan with Lawson returning to the sister team. Liam, who finished 20th and last in both Chinese sprint qualifying and main Grand Prix qualifying was believed to have been "mentally struggling" with the Redbull car according to Rebull mechanics which is famously rumoured to be built around the 4x World Champion Max Verstappen who also has a very aggressive driving style which any other driver cannot match on the grid.                                              ...

Dutch Grand Prix Round-up

Image
The Dutch Grand Prix was one of the most dramatic races of the season, from DNFS, to rain, to another rookie podium, Netherlands cooked up a a storm of a race and something arguably the fans needed to keep the energy alive for the 2025 season. Even before the race had started, Lewis Hamilton was picked up for a yellow flag infringement meaning that he did not slow down under the yellow flags on the reconnaissance laps to the grid and this was investigated after the race and he was unfortunately given a 5 place grid penalty to serve at monza, something the tifosi will not be happy about and the race was arguably worse for Ferrari too. With Ollie Bearman starting from the pits after taking a new engine, lap 1 was underway and Norris has a slightly better start than Piastri but in the second phase, got cut across by him and had no where to go, leaving the door nicely open to soft runner Verstappen to take the place and up he went to P2. Moments later tried to send it on Piastri at turn 3 ...
