Reports that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez has already signed a deꦉal to drive for Cadillac have been shot down by the team.

Cadillac, backed by General Motors, are set to become the 11th team on the Formula 1 grid from 2026 onwards, and will later 🍃become their own powe𓆉r unit supplier.

The 🤪addition of two extra ra✨ce seats has turned heads in the paddock, particularly for those in desperate need of a drive.

Perez, who was axed by Red Bull after a disappointing 2024, has no F1 drive this year but has been he♑avily꧑ linked to joining the new project.

US-based team Cad⛎illac enjoyed their launch event on Saturday at the F1 Miami Grand Prix.

It was rife with rumours th꧂at they would announce their driver line-u🥀p, and that it would include Perez.

Have Cadillac make an F1 driver signing yet?

But team principal Graeme Lowdon shook his head when asked by The Athletic if the team had signed any driver yet.

Lowdon added: “The reality is that we’ve got lots of parallel tracks that all need to come together for the first race in 2026,♋ and yes, of course, selecting the drivers is part of that.

“But we’re in kind of in an interesting situa⛄tion, timing wise, because we’re out with synchroniz⛄ation with the other teams.

“We haven’t got drivers sat there saying, ‘Well, I🌼 might♍ go to this team’.

“Every (other) seat is full𝐆. We’ve got two and it turns out everybody wants to driveꦍ a Cadillac.

“That’s the one thing that I have learned. My p♒hone has become very busy.

“And so, to som♒e extent, we’re looking at everyt🅰hing we need to do.

“One of the key things we need to do is build the car for the ꩵdrivers to actually race.”

Lowdon admit🔯ted there are b♚etween six and 10 drivers on Cadillac’s radar for 2026.

They have beeꦿn strongly rumoured to signing an American driver, given they are a US t✃eam.

IndyCar driver Colton Herta or Formula 2 talent Zak Crawford has thꦛerefore cropped up in conversation✃.

Lowdon said: “We want to hire drivers on merit, but we assess them on lots 𒈔of different things and we’re in a good position — where we can take our time a little bit to do that.”
