Two Of These Drivers Could Be Sitting In A Cadillac Next Year In Historic Season

Two lucky Formula 1 drivers could make history next season and join Cadillac - the 11th team to compete for the World Championship. It will be the first time that 11 teams take the grid since the start of F1 in 1950.

Since then, only 10 teams and 20 drivers have competed but this month, the FIA made a historic announcement, confirming Cadillacs seat on the grid, and the second American team behind Haas.

The addition of Cadillac also means that theres two new seats available next season, with a host of former drivers looking to seize a spot. But Cadillac Team Principal Graeme Lowdon said they are looking into hiring American drivers as well.

Being a bunch of newbies in the paddock, Cadillac will have to align themselves with all the F1 talent available to catch up with the rest of the field in terms of technical experience.

Valtteri Bottas, who is currently shining on the Mercedes bench, may be a viable option for them to kick start their F1 career and accompany the American driver Cadillac plan on hiring. Bottas is no stranger to the podium or pole position, having driven in 247 races. Bottas won 10 grand prixs with Mercedes and drove next to one of the all time greats, Lewis Hamilton.
