Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez return to the F1 grid after both drivers were dropped by their teams at the end of 2024.

Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas will be back on the Formula One starting grid next season after Cadillac announced the signing of the multiple race winners as the team’s debut driver pairing.

The Mexican and Finn both have multiyear deals, the General Motors-backed outfit said on Tuesday without providing further details.

Perez, a six-time race winner, and Bottas, who took 10 victories for Mercedes, are both 35 and have unfinished business after being dropped by the Red Bull and Sauber teams, respectively, in 2024.

The announcement was expected, although some younger prospects had been touted.
