The Cadillac Formula 1 team has signed Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas as its two drivers for the 2026 season, bringing a pair of experienced hands and race-winners to its inaugural lineup

Cadillac has chosen Formula 1 veterans Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Pérez for its first F1 lineup, bypassing an American driver.

It was difficult to make much sense of the garbled message from Keanu Reeves in Cadillac F1’s Matrix-style driver video reveal on Tuesday. But confirmation that Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Pérez will be the duo behind the wheel for the American manufacturer’s first season in Formula One next year is entirely logical.
