"Signing two very experienced racers like Bottas and Checo is a bold signal of intent," team principal Graeme Lowdon comments in the press release.

Dan Towriss, the CEO of the Cadillac Formula Team and TWG Motorsports, states: "Bottas and Checo bring the perfect balance of talent, maturity, and drive. They’re not just accomplished racers, they’re builders, collaborators, and professionals who will help define what the Cadillac Formula 1® Team stands for. This moment marks more than just a lineup announcement. It’s the beginning of a bold new chapter in American motorsport."

"Our new drivers are a welcome addition to the Cadillac racing family — each brings a depth of experience, and an unwavering passion to win," also says Mark Reuss, the President of General Motors.

"Together, we’re building the foundation for American motorsports that will be an extraordinary legacy for Cadillac, GM and the sport," he concluded.
