Cadillac star claims team facilities ‘better than Mercedes’ despite on-track disappointment

Cadillac Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas has claimed that his team's new facilities in Silverstone are superior to those at Mercedes, where he previously won five constructors' championships. Despite Cadillac struggling at the back of the grid and Bottas failing to score a point during the 2026 season, the 37-year-old expressed optimism about the organization's progress.

Bottas told the Financial Times that he anticipated a challenging inaugural year focused on problem-solving as the American outfit built from scratch. While on-track results have yet to materialize, the veteran driver emphasized that Cadillac continues to see operational improvements across various areas each race weekend.
