I KNOW I KNOW 2025 HASNT EVEN STARTED YET BUT HERES MY 2026 CADILLAC LINEUP (DELUSIONAL)

now, in this extremely long post that i will eventually prolly convert into a yuechube video at some point i will yap about everybody cadillac COULD take (extensive list, ive done my research folks, WITH PROBABILITY), who they SHOULD take ( my best lineup with "evidence" to support), and my hopes and dreams for a lineup. so, without further ado, lets get into it (under the cut)

EDIT (3/19/25): added more drivers and fleshed out some details

COULD

Zhou Guanyu (7/10) - why zhou? well, we all know about Ferrari's connection to cadillac (supplying supplies) and Zhou boy here is a Ferrari reserve driver. He also has connections to team principal, Graeme Lowdon.

Valtteri Bottas(8/10) - now i believe this is very likely. Bottas has the experience that Cadillac needs, and while he is a little old, he's still got it. he is currently a Mercedes reserve driver, but there has been friction in the team with Torger (Toto) Wolff. thats not very good for anybody.

Colton Herta (8/10) - "bUt CoLtOn Is AmErIcAn AnD hE hAs EvErYtHiNg cAdIlLaC wAnTs WhY iSn'T hE a TeN oUt Of Ten?" Cadillac wants Colton, but does Colton want Cadillac? when asked the question sometime ago, he stated that he was "happy where he was". also, Andretti is reportedly paying him $$$ (some write more he gets paid more than F1 race winner Oscar Piastri). however, we all know Andretti, GM, and Cadillac are linked, and Cadillac *really* wants Herta.

George Russell (4/10) - George isnt stupid and neither is Toto.

Kimi Antonelli (2/10) - Toto's not letting Kimi go anywhere.

Dino Beganovic (6/10) - way back in '23 everybody was SO sure Dino was going to WEC hell, but an amazing two F2 seasons really turned that opinion around. Part of the FDA, Dino also has connections with Ferrari, and currently no seat for 2026. Right now the twenty-one year has an F2 seat with HiTech Racing through the 2025 F2 season.

Paul Aron (5/10) - Paul is currently an Alpine reserve, but i have a sinking feeling that he's not getting that seat anytime soon. Good driver, shit team. (fuk u alpine). He's also got the marketability and all of Estonia behind him.

Franco Colapinto (3/10) - on the topic of Alpine drivers, we have the infamous Franco Cola-bin-to. A Williams replacement for Logan Sargeant (rip my boy Logan i hope ur ok) the Argentinian driver instantly captured the hearts of thousands of fans. also v marketable. will probably have the Alpine seat for 26 and like half of 2025 once they inevitably drop

Jack Doohan (5/10) - rumors say he's only got a contract for the first 5 races of the 2025 season and i wholeheartedly believe he should fire his manager because what the fuck? anyways he's rated p low because i doubt Cadillac is anywhere near his list of choices

Logan Sargeant (2/10) - now, if theres anything you should know about me, you should know im a big Logan fan. like ive been following his career since F3 big fan. up until very recently (yesterday 2/18/25) i and the rest of the wider motorsport world thought he was going to race in ELMS with IDEC and Genesis, and that through Genesis, he would break into WEC. WE. WERE. WRONG. IDEC motorsport announced Logan's retirement sometime yesterday afternoon. it sounded like the team themselves didn't know. i hope he's ok. anyways he's raced 1 1/2 seasons with Williams, and although he crashed quite often, he was still a great driver. another case of the great driver shit car combo (fuk u james vowels and upper williams management)

Liam Lawson (idk bro) - Liam doesn't have an F1 seat for '26 and tbh he's just a wildcard to me. theres no facts to support this one becuase I do not know what Red Bull is doing out here.

Sergio Checo Perez (6/10) - on the topic of Red Bull boyz, we have Checo. Checo, much like Valtteri, brings the experience of a top team with him. However, he has been much less successful than Valtteri, and thus i am rating him lower. Checo is well known for his technical feedback, which is important for a rookie team to have.

Jak Crawford (7/10) - another up and coming american driver, and has 33 super licence points i believe. ummm this means he has to finish fourth? fifth? in the F2 championship to get enough super licence points. good driver and all that jazz hope he makes it

Kyle Kirkwood (2/10) - I just don't see it. He needs an ABSURD amount of super licence points that he just doesnt have and he's pretty happy at Andretti. fuck you will buxton.

Alex Palou (1/10) - absolutely not. with the legal battles and everything its just not gonna happen. like yeah this guy is out here pulling a 2023 Max Verstappen style domination in a sport where that should not be happening and is structured to actively prevent that but the legal battles are really harming him here. also im gonna say i think hes pretty happy at CGR im ngl but the LEGAL BATTLES OH GOD THE LEGAL BATTLES are just gonna prevent that.

SHOULD

honestly I believe the best Cadillac/GM lineup would be some combo of Valtteri/Zhou/Dino. all three bring their own special skills and i could see any of these three as strong contenders. Valtteri brings the experience, of how a top team operates, as well as racing knowledge. Zhou is a good driver period, and has a lot of money backing him up. Dino brings in a fresher perspective, and a youth to the team to balance everything out. However, unlike the others, he has not had any experience in F1. to balance that out, he is very marketable to the youth. Valtteri is also very marketable, esp to teens and men in their 40's.

MY HOPES AND DREAMS (DELUISION)

Logan and Mick

Dino and Paul

Valtteri and Zhou (yes i know they were already teammates shush)

ANYWAYS THATS ALL THANK YOU FOR READING THIS FAR (can you tell where i got tired while writing this?). lmk about your opinions and what you think about my opinions. feel free to argue with me about this in my asks or dms or the replies of this post! also PLEASE TELL ME IF I MISSED ANYTHING!!! have a nice week. yuechube video will be uploaded soon i think!

Lewis Hamilton, unsure of what else is in the Ferrari name: yeah... the car was fast

Feels incredibly fitting that the first thing the fred mentioned when questioned about the partnership with the new Cadillac team was not getting cocky and the 2008 recession/bankruptcy of GM
