Cadillac have picked 'the right guys' – Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton has praised Cadillac's choice of Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez as their driver line-up for the 2026 season. The seven-time World Champion believes the new team has "chosen the right guys," emphasizing the invaluable experience both veterans will bring from top-tier teams like Mercedes and Red Bull. Hamilton expressed his admiration for former teammate Bottas, whom he misses working with, highlighting his talent, honesty, and genuine nature. He noted that the combined knowledge and 527 Grand Prix starts of Bottas and Perez will be crucial for Cadillac's rapid development as a brand-new entrant to the grid, especially after both drivers spend 2025 on the sidelines.
