Cadillac F1 boss insists the team will only sign an American driver on merit
ERROR: The request could not be satisfied
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
You realize we are discussing F1 and not road cars right?
Cadillac makes those abominations because people buy them. If people would buy something reasonably sized with decent headlights, that’s what Cadillac would make. It’s the people that buy them.
I’m pretty sure their F1 car design won’t have headlights and will be roughly the same size as every other F1 car.
Ahh, so you are mad at the DOT rules, not Caddy. Lights follow the law, so if you don’t like lights, then you are after the DOT; good luck with that lol.
