Pietro is a 19 years old aspiring F1 car designer with a great passion for Motorsport. He started following F1 thanks to his grandfather during the Sebastian Vettel era in Ferrari and then he totally fell in love for the 'circus' after Leclerc's win in Spa. He started working as a journalist during 2024 summer collaborating with F1inGenerale.com and writing for PaddockNews24.com, in which he achieved great results. In May 2025 he attended Emilia Romagna Grand Prix as F2 media accredited and during the summer he joined GPBlog.com looking forward to achieve every organisational, and personal, goal.
Cadillac has announced Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Pérez as its official driver lineup for 2026. This experience-driven choice also convinced former F1 driver Martin Brundle, who shared his thoughts on the American team.
Cadillac recently revealed to the F1 world that Bottas and Pérez will return to the paddock next year as their full-time drivers. With this decision, Cadillac also achieved its first podium in F1 — without completing a single lap on track.
Martin Brundle's comment
As previously reported, Cadillac had the chance to choose one of the most talented drivers in F2, Alexander Dunne, but ultimately decided to go with Perez and Bottas. This choice was praised by former F1 driver and 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Martin Brundle.
"That’s a great driver line up, the team needs experience and direction in year one, and can’t afford to have rookies damaging cars when all the resources will be heavily stretched," Brundle wrote in a post on X.

The former Benetton driver also offered further advice to Cadillac’s new pairing: "They’ll probably have to park their early frustrations as the team gets up and running, especially with such a dramatic regulation reset."
