Cadillac F1 boss insists the team will only sign an American driver on merit
Now its spot in Formula 1 for 2026 onwards is secure, the championship's newest team is on the hunt for its drivers
“The obvious question is whether we'll have American drivers and personally, I see no reason why an American driver can't be selected on merit as well,” he said. “It's certainly something that the fans would like to see, and I see no reason why that can't happen. But the overriding objective is merit. We've got a job to do here.
Damn, he never even drove for them but here they are dunking on Logan Sargeant.
If only America had a single seater series with loads of talent! I'd be shocked if they chose a non-american
In that series, 5 drivers are American and under 25. It’s too much of an investment to have a driver that will age out in a decade. I haven’t checked who has the SL points required recently, but I think it’s only 2-3 contenders.
Realistically, the potential transfers from Indycar are Palou (Spain, 27 but a champion with the SL pts), Herta (not enough SL pts) and at the outside O’Ward (Mexico).
/me laughes in Alonso
