Cadillac's new Formula 1 team has confirmed its driver lineup for the 2026 season, with Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas leading the charge. The start-up team completed its first private shakedown at Silverstone with Perez behind the wheel, signaling a major new era for the sport as it welcomes an 11th constructor.

Perez, 35, is eager to build something new with Cadillac after leaving Red Bull in 2024. He's confident the experienced pairing can accelerate the team's progress. Bottas, 36, views this as a personal comeback, aiming to leave nothing on the table after a reserve role with Mercedes last year.

Both drivers bring a wealth of championship-winning knowledge from their time at Red Bull and Mercedes. Their task is to help shape the new team from the ground up during a period of major technical regulation changes in 2026. Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves is documenting their journey in a new film.
