More than 100 F1 podiums have featured Valtteri Bottas and/or Sergio Perez, but Cadillac’s new drivers are expected to be at the back of the grid in 2026 – here’s how they plan on dealing with it

The first race of the 2026 season is the Australian Grand Prix in March. Bottas and Perez will hit the track in January, testing out the new car before its official debut in early February. Towriss noted that both men signed multi-year deals with Cadillac. Graeme Lowden was named team principal last December.
