Verstappen Rival Test Confirmed as Star Named in SHOCK Cadillac…read more
The Formula 1 paddock is buzzing after a major shake-up in the driver market, with reports confirming that a top rival of reigning World Champion Max Verstappen has been lined up for a test with Cadillac Racing — and could be on the verge of a sensational switch.
Multiple sources have confirmed that Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz Jr., who has been one of the most consistent challengers to Verstappen in recent seasons, will be testing with Cadillac’s World Endurance Championship (WEC) team later this month. This test has sparked a wave of speculation about Sainz’s long-term future in Formula 1.
Cadillac, bolstered by its competitive debut in WEC and recent podium finishes, appears to be targeting top-tier talent as it eyes expansion and possibly an entry into Formula 1 via the Andretti-Cadillac project, currently under FIA review.
Sainz’s name being linked to the American manufacturer is seen as a shock given his ongoing strong performances in F1, but insiders suggest that stalled contract negotiations at Ferrari and the uncertain 2026 driver market could be influencing his next move.
While no official statement has been released by either Cadillac or Sainz’s camp, the test has been confirmed by team sources, suggesting that talks are further along than initially believed.
This potential move could have huge ramifications across both F1 and endurance racing, and fans are eagerly watching to see whether this surprise development becomes a full-blown career pivot.
