[Saba Sports News] According to recent reports from U.S. media, the new F1 team Cadillac may not have any drivers with American nationality next season, as there are currently no American drivers with sufficient competitiveness in the market. Previously, Colton Herta and Jake Crawford were considered potential candidates for the Cadillac team. However, Herta lacks enough Super License points to be selected by the team in the short term, while Crawford also faces the same issue. As a new team entering F1, Cadillac faces huge challenges and needs to quickly build competitiveness and reputation. Choosing experienced and strong drivers helps the team achieve better results from the start, accumulating technical data and race experience for future development. Selecting less competitive American drivers solely for the local market could harm the team’s performance and hinder long-term growth. Additionally, the team mentioned having long-term plans to develop American drivers through driver development programs, balancing immediate performance with the cultivation of local talent and long-term investment in the American market.
