Valtteri Bottas reveals emotional Cadillac journey: tears flow as F1 dreams ignite

Valtteri Bottas Unveils Emotional Journey with Cadillac: “People Were Crying!”

In a stunning revelation that has sent shockwaves through the motorsport world, Valtteri Bottas has opened up about his heartfelt journey with the Cadillac Formula 1 team, a story that began over three years ago! As the team gears up for its debut in the 2026 season, Bottas has shared insights that highlight the emotional stakes behind Cadillac's ambitious entry into the elite racing circuit.

Bottas, who has now officially joined forces with Cadillac alongside the former Red Bull star Sergio Perez, spoke candidly about the early days of discussions that ultimately paved the way for this monumental partnership. “It was a bit more than three years ago when the first talks began,” Bottas recounted. “This was before the team even had confirmation of their entry into F1. My first conversation with Graeme Lowdon ignited a spark that has turned into a roaring flame.”

The journey has not been without its challenges. Initially, the iconic Andretti name faced hurdles that put Cadillac's F1 ambitions in jeopardy. However, Bottas's determination became clear when he made Cadillac his top priority in early 2025. “It was like, that's where I want to be. That's what I want my next project to be,” he stated passionately, emphasizing the mutual desire between him and the team to make this partnership a reality.

What sets Cadillac apart, according to Bottas, is the palpable passion and commitment radiating from every member of the team. The organization has been on a relentless hiring spree, rapidly expanding its workforce and facilities in both the United States and England. Bottas expressed his astonishment at how quickly Cadillac has gained momentum, stating, “I've been surprised at how good of a shape the team is considering how late they got the confirmation.”

The emotional weight of this project has been overwhelming for many team members. Bottas recounted a particularly touching moment: “It was a rush to get the car ready, and how much it actually meant to all the people to have the car running—there were people crying when the car ran for the first time!” Such moments underscore the dedication and hard work of those pushing the limits to bring Cadillac's vision to life.

As the excitement builds, Cadillac is set to join the ranks of the ten other teams competing in Bahrain testing this week. The world got its first glimpse of Cadillac's stunning livery during the Super Bowl halftime show, a marketing move that has amplified the anticipation surrounding the team's debut.

With the stage set and emotions running high, Bottas's story is just the beginning of what promises to be a thrilling chapter in Formula 1 history. The roar of the engines might still be a few laps away, but the dedication and passion from Bottas and the Cadillac team ensure that they are not just participants—they are here to make a lasting impact in the world of motorsport. Buckle up; the ride is about to get exhilarating!
