Cadillac signs Bottas and Perez for its ...

THE RACE MEDIA LTD
About this episode

We ask if Cadillac has made a mistake by signing two veterans in Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas for 2026 in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. 


Jon Noble joins Edd Straw to dissect the decision and explain why Cadillac has chosen experience over youth. 


We also ask why two grand prix winning drivers were keen to sign a team that will be at the back next year rather than holding out for something better, and what they bring to Cadillac. 


There’s also the latest on rumours of Christian Horner joining the team and Cadillac’s plans for pre-season.
