By IANS News August 26, 2025 • 17:54 PM View: 380

Marussia Sporting Director Graeme Lowdon: Cadillac have signed veteran duo Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas to be their drivers when the team joins the Formula 1 grid for the first time in 2026. The American squad, who are backed by General Motors and will be led by former Marussia Sporting Director Graeme Lowdon, will become the sport's 11th team next season.

Cadillac have opted for experience with their line-up, signing 'Checo' Perez and Mercedes reserve Bottas – who boast 527 Grand Prix starts and 16 Grand Prix wins between them – on multi-year deals.

It marks a remarkable return for the veteran duo, both 35, after they lost their respective F1 race seats at the end of last season.
