Cadillac's new UK headquarters at Silverstone and ongoing hiring process are crucial in developing a potent F1 car, ensuring the team is race-ready before its debut in twelve months. Now, though, Cadillac's priority is signing two strong drivers. Newsweek Sports reported recently the team is keen on having an American talent on board.

The Cadillac team set to debut in Formula One next year has at least six names on a list of potential drivers and will decide on merit, principal Graeme Lowdon said on Monday.

Former Formula 1 team boss Guenther Steiner has questioned Cadillac’s choice to pick an American driver for their 2026 driver lineup. The General Motors-backed team have received official approval to join the F1 grid in 2026, where their spot as an 11th team opens up seats for two more drivers in the sport.
