Not the most inspiring lineup, but a smart choice for a new team. Glad to see BOT back in a full time seat and hope PER can find some confidence now that he's out of RBR.

Yes, you can see the logic in having two experienced drivers to help develop the car.

I think it will work out ok for their first year, particularly since PER is a massive draw card in Mexico (and sponsorship). If Jak Crawford can get a couple of good F2 seasons under his belt, and maybe a few testing runs with the team, he might be a 2027 selection.

Who is the number one driver? LOL

At least they both should be used to dueling for last place anyway.
Happy days for STR and ALO

I realise this was probably meant in jest, but Cadillac have made clear that they are equal status.

Thats why the LOL...no smiley faces on my keyboard.

But seriously, both are very well practiced at being number 2 drivers.
I suppose we, and Cadillac, will see who goes faster.
