Former Formula 1 champion Mario Andretti drops a bombshell about the limited options for Cadillac’s F1 driver lineup in 2026. The motorsport legend revealed that General Motors-backed Cadillac F1 is facing a tough decision in choosing its drivers for the upcoming season.
Amid speculations, Mexican driver Sergio Perez is on the radar for Cadillac’s team, but Andretti emphasized the challenges in the selection process. He hinted at the scarcity of available top talents due to existing contracts in the racing world.
While Andretti did not disclose specific names, rumors swirl around potential candidates such as Colton Herta, Alex Palou, Mick Schumacher, Valtteri Bottas, and Zhou Guanyu. The decision-making process seems intense, with Andretti acknowledging the positive reception some drivers have received.
One burning question is the possibility of signing an American driver, to which Andretti responded cautiously. He stressed the importance of merit over nationality in forming a competitive team. The consideration for an American driver remains open but could be deferred to ensure the team’s readiness for the challenging season ahead.
As the anticipation builds for Cadillac’s F1 team debut, the motorsport community eagerly awaits the final driver lineup announcement, poised to witness the fusion of talent and strategy on the track.
