In a shocking turn of events, Zhou Guanyu, the talented driver left without a seat at Sauber, might just find himself behind the wheel of a Cadillac Formula 1 car in 2026. The emergence of Cadillac as a new contender on the F1 grid has opened up opportunities for drivers like Zhou to make a comeback.
With insider connections to Cadillac Team Principal Graeme Lowdon and powerhouse Ferrari, who will be supplying Cadillac with power units until 2029, Zhou seems to have the upper hand in securing a spot on the team. Despite these advantages, Zhou remains cautiously optimistic, acknowledging that the final decision rests in the hands of others.
Adding fuel to the fire, ex-F1 race winner Juan Pablo Montoya has highlighted Zhou as a top contender for a seat at Cadillac, alongside the experienced Sergio Perez. Montoya believes that Zhou’s expertise with Ferrari’s power unit could prove invaluable for Cadillac as they navigate their entry into F1.
Rumors are swirling that Cadillac will unveil its 2026 colors at the upcoming Miami Grand Prix, with Perez possibly making an appearance as he inches closer to joining the American outfit. The F1 world is abuzz with anticipation as the pieces fall into place for what could be a game-changing lineup for Cadillac in the upcoming season.
Stay tuned as the drama unfolds and the race for the coveted Cadillac F1 seats heats up. This season promises to be one of the most exciting in recent memory, with new faces and familiar names vying for a chance to make their mark on the prestigious F1 stage.
