"An experienced pilot"
“Suddenly available!” Cadillac forges a plan
The future Formula 1 team Cadillac has already started thinking about possible drivers. Mario Andretti emphasizes that in addition to a US driver, he would also like to put an experienced driver in the cockpit. "Suddenly someone is available who you would never have thought of," says the former racing driver.
Team Cadillac still has a year to set the final course for Formula 1. This is because the US team will be entering the "premier class" from 2026 - the last time this was confirmed. Behind the scenes, however, planning is already in full swing. The driver market in particular is being kept under close scrutiny.
"Many drivers are being considered. We are keeping all options open," emphasized former driver and current team supervisory board member Mario Andretti to the "Deutsche Presse Agentur". However, the team already has concrete ideas about what the future driver pairing should look like.
What are the options?
"I think the goal from the start was to have at least one American driver. It definitely makes sense to have an experienced driver alongside this American driver," explains Andretti. Colton Herta is currently the favorite for the US cockpit.
But who will drive alongside him is still being kept under wraps. The name Mick Schumacher keeps cropping up as an option. However, Andretti emphasizes that there will be no rush to decide now. After all, the past season has also shown that opportunities always arise. "Suddenly someone is available who you would never have thought of," Andretti concludes.
