About

Valtteri Bottas won ten Grands Prix as Lewis Hamilton’s team mate at Mercedes, then led Alfa Romeo, before taking on a new challenge for 2026: veteran hand of Cadillac’s first ever Formula 1 team.

Twenty-second in the championship and still waiting, with his team, for Cadillac’s first point. Building a team from zero is the hardest job in the sport, and Bottas’s calm experience is exactly why they hired him.
