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

Cadillac are joining the🌜 grid in 2026 as F1’s 1💎1th team.

While 💞team boss Graeme Lowdon, formerly of Manor, is h♒eading their preparations for next year, 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 competition from other teams.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas, Zhou Guanyu and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mick Schumacher are all thought to be options.

Perez was dropp🌞ed by Red Bull a🐻t the end of 2024 following a difficult campaign.

Perez’s sto🍒ck has only risen, though, due to Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda’s difficulties alongside Max Verstappen.

Bottas and Zhou are als🐓o available after failing to land a seat at Sauber.

The pair have remained active in the F1 paddock, taking up rol♔es with Mercedes and Ferrari, respectively.

Schumacher is also keen on a ret🏅urn to F1 and has 🔯received support from Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher.

Steiner chooses who he’d sign

Steiner has experience running a ne♒w F1 team, with Haas joining the grid i🥀n 2016.

Steiner remained tea🍷m principal of Haas until the end of 2023, and most of his drive﷽r line ups were based on previous F1 experience.

Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen spent four years at Haas betwee💦n 2017 and 2020.

However, when Haas were short of ✅cash, Steiner turned to Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin.

After that, Steiner vowed not to sign two rookies again, ultimately🅰 replacing Schumacher with m♉idfield veteran Nico Hulkenberg.

Speaking on F1 Explains, Steiner revealed he would opt for Perez and Bottas if he was Cadillac bosꦅs.

“If I were Cadillac, I would look to experienced dri🦩vers, the same reasonܫ 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 thaಞn the rookies.

“For me, the ideal team would be Bottas and Serg🔴io Perez. I would bring💦 them two in.”
