A new contender has emerged in the fierce battle for the Cadillac F1 seat, and talks have been confirmed! Mercedes driver Frederik Vesti has expressed his interest in joining Cadillac for the 2026 season, potentially becoming one of the two drivers for the American brand.
With General Motors making their way into the F1 grid next season, the competition for securing a seat in Cadillac’s lineup has intensified. While the team has been secretive about their driver selection process, Vesti has made it clear that discussions are underway. “We’re working hard on all possibilities,” Vesti stated when asked about his negotiations with Cadillac.
Vesti is not the only driver eyeing the coveted seat, as rumors also link Sergio Perez to a possible move to Cadillac. Team principal Graeme Lowdon revealed that they have engaged with “seven or eight drivers,” including those with Formula 1 experience. However, Lowdon emphasized that the discussions are still in the early stages, with no advanced talks currently taking place.
Lowdon highlighted the challenges faced by Cadillac in the driver market due to the delayed confirmation of their entry. He expressed optimism about the pool of talented drivers eager to join F1, noting the significant interest received since Cadillac’s entry was finalized.
As Cadillac continues to navigate the competitive world of F1, the team remains focused on selecting drivers who align with their vision and goals. The process of driver selection is crucial, as drivers play a pivotal role in the success of the team on the track.
