Brundle appreciated Cadillac F1 lineup: “Rookies would’ve damaged cars!”

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.

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."
