[Saba Sports News] Valtteri Bottas, the veteran Finnish driver currently acting as Mercedes’ test and reserve driver, recently reached out to next season’s new team Cadillac Racing in an interview. He clearly stated that he “hasn’t said goodbye to F1,” expressing his desire to return to full-time racing in 2026 and contribute “more” to the sport. This is seen as a hint for Cadillac Racing to contact him. Supported by General Motors and TWG Motorsports, Cadillac Racing plans to enter F1 in 2026. As a new team, they need experienced drivers to help establish and develop within F1. Bottas believes he has enough experience. We believe Bottas, with extensive F1 experience, has previously driven for multiple teams, including highly successful ones, and achieved good results with Williams. His experience, whether in race technology areas like power systems optimization or aerodynamic design, or in teamwork aspects, could bring fresh perspectives and assistance to Cadillac Racing, helping them stand out in future races.
