Cadillac F1 2027: the newest team, its drivers and where to see it
Cadillac is the eleventh team on the grid and the first new one since Haas in 2016. For 2027 it runs Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas with Ferrari power. This page covers the line-up, the American and British bases, and the Grands Prix that make the best trip for fans of the new squad.
Cadillac F1 2027 drivers: Perez and Bottas
Sergio Perez, from Mexico, drives number 11. He debuted in 2011 and has 6 wins. His confirmation for 2027 was announced in August 2026, and it makes the Mexico City weekend a major date for the team.
Valtteri Bottas, from Finland, drives number 77. He debuted in 2013, has 10 wins and was confirmed in the same announcement. Two drivers with over a decade of experience each give a young team plenty of knowledge to build on. Both have worked with several teams, so they can compare the new car against what they have driven before and give precise feedback to the engineers as the project develops.

Why Cadillac F1 2027 uses Ferrari power
Cadillac runs a Ferrari power unit in 2027, the same supplier that powers Haas and the works Ferrari team. For a new entry, a proven engine is a practical way to reach the grid with a competitive base, and it lets the team focus its early years on the chassis, the operations and the race crew.

American and British bases of Cadillac F1
The official entry name is Cadillac Formula 1 Team. The team lists Fishers, Indiana as its base, while the race team and chassis operate from Silverstone in England. That dual structure lets it combine American backing with the engineering depth of the British motorsport sector.
The team began racing in 2026 and has no constructors' title yet. As the eleventh team and the first brand-new entry in a decade, it draws strong curiosity from American fans, who are likely to travel to the US rounds in numbers. Expect plenty of merchandise, fan zones and curiosity around the garage, especially at the early rounds where everyone wants to see how the newest car compares with the established teams.
