Ex-Haas boss Guenther Steiner believes Cadillac should favour experience when choosing drivers for their debut F1 season in 2026.

Cadillac are joꦰining the grid in 2026 as F1’s 11th team.

While team boss Graeme Lowdon, formerly of Manor, i▨s heading their preparations for next ye🐈ar, they’ve yet to decide on their driver line-up.

With the rest of the grid effectively locking down their star drivers for next year already,💙 Cadillac are not under any pressure to decide on who to sign as they face no compe🌼tition from other teams.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas, Zhou Guanyu and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mick Schumacher are all thought to be options.

Perez was dropped by Red Bull at the end of 2024 following a difficu🧸lt campඣaign.

Perez’s stock has only risen, though, due to Liam Laws🗹on and Yuki Tsunoda’s difficulties alongside Max Verstappen.

Bottas and Zhou are also available after ൲failing to land a seat at Sauber.

The pair have remained active in the F1 paddock, taking 🌊up roles with Mercedes and Ferrari, respectively.

Schumacher is also keen on a return to F1 and🐽 has received support from Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher.

Steiner chooses who he’d sign

Steiner has experience running a new F1 team, with Haas jo🌟ining the grid in 2016.

Steiner remained team principal of Haasꦐ until the end of 2023, and most of his dr🐈iver line ups were based on previous F1 experience.

R♍omain Grosjean and Kevin Ma🐽gnussen spent four years at Haas between 2017 and 2020.

H🌊owever, when Haas were short of cash, Stein🀅er turned to Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin.

After thatꩲ, Steiner vowed not to sign two rookies again, ultimately replacing Schumacher with midfield veteran Nico Hulkenberg.

Speaking on F1 Explains, Steiner revealed he would op♛t for Perez and Bottas if he was Cadillac boss.

“If I wer🎶e Cadillac, I would look to experienced drivers, the same reason I said before,” he said.

“In🅷 a young team, the best is to get experience in people who have done it, who help the team to get going, who help the team to make progress quicker than the rookies.

“For me, t𒁏he ideal team would be Bottas and Sergio Perez. I would bring them two in.”
