The Formula 1 world is abuzz with excitement as rumors swirl around Cadillac’s driver lineup for the upcoming 2026 season. With Sergio Perez potentially in the mix, fans and experts alike are speculating on who will join the American team.
Cadillac recently received approval to become the eleventh team on the F1 grid, with General Motors set to supply power units starting in 2029. The team’s chief, Graeme Lowdon, emphasized that drivers will be chosen based on merit, sparking discussions about the possibility of having an American driver on the roster.
While Perez’s potential addition has garnered support from fans, some skeptics believe the 35-year-old may not be the best choice for Cadillac’s future. With an impressive F1 career that includes six race wins and 39 podium finishes, Perez’s experience could be a valuable asset to the team.
In addition to Perez, other contenders for a spot at Cadillac include Daniel Ricciardo and Colton Herta. Ricciardo, a fan favorite known for his charm on and off the track, could bring his 14 years of experience to the American team. Herta, who has impressed pundits with his talent and dedication, has been endorsed by F1 legend Mario Andretti as a “great candidate” for Cadillac.
Fans have also suggested alternative options such as Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, adding to the speculation surrounding Cadillac’s driver lineup for the upcoming season. As the anticipation builds, F1 enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the official announcement from Cadillac regarding their 2026 driver roster.
