Cadillac F1 Launches Hunt for Third Driver Amid Growing Excitement
Cadillac’s entry into Formula 1 continues to generate headlines, and the team has now confirmed it is actively seeking a third driver to complete its line-up ahead of the 2026 season. With Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas already announced as race drivers, attention has quickly shifted toward who will secure the vital reserve and development role.
A third driver in Formula 1 plays a crucial part, often serving as a back-up in case of illness or injury to the main drivers, while also contributing to simulator work, car development, and brand promotion. For a new team like Cadillac, this role is even more significant, ensuring the squad has depth and flexibility as it navigates the challenges of its debut campaign.
Speculation has been intense, with several names in the frame. American star Colton Herta, already confirmed as Cadillac’s official test driver, is considered the frontrunner. His IndyCar experience and U.S. market appeal align perfectly with Cadillac’s strategy of building a strong American identity in Formula 1.
However, other contenders are being discussed. Zhou Guanyu, who brings Formula 1 race experience and commercial value, has been linked with the team. Mick Schumacher, currently looking for a way back onto the grid, has also emerged as a possibility due to his development skills and high profile. Rising American talents such as Jak Crawford have not been ruled out either, particularly as Cadillac may want to nurture young drivers for the future.
Team representatives have hinted that the announcement could come before the end of the year, as preparations for 2026 intensify. Whoever gets the nod, the choice will not only shape Cadillac’s competitive prospects but also signal the team’s long-term ambitions on Formula 1’s global stage.
