Cadillac signs Bottas and Perez for its first F1 season
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. Want bonus episodes and ad-free listening?

Would Cadillac be playing it safe with Bottas and Perez? Your questions answered
We answer your questions in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast, starting with Cadillac’s plan to sign both Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez. Scott Mitchell-Malm and Jon Noble join Edd Straw to sift through questions submitted by The Race Members’ Club, starting off with one about the driver line-up of F1’s newest team. We also discuss the expectations for Cadillac’s first season and whether Christian Horner could turn up there, before moving onto a wide range of topics starting with what the big news stories of the second half of the year might be. The chances of Carlos Sainz returning to Ferrari, Franco Colapinto’s future and whether F1 cars really have “baked-in characteristics” are then tackled. What Alpine needs to do to restore credibility, the decision to hold the first pre-season test of 2026 behind closed doors and the size of the rulebook are also among the discussion points we hit.
