The Cadillac team is gearing up for its eagerly anticipated debut in Formula One next year. Principal Graeme Lowdon revealed that at least six potential drivers are under consideration, with merit being the deciding factor.

General Motors' support has secured Cadillac's position as the 11th team on the starting grid. As discussions on the driver lineup progress, emphasis is placed on selection based on talent, regardless of nationality, although there is interest in involving American drivers.

Notably, experienced F1 drivers without current seats, like Zhou Guanyu and Sergio Perez, are in the running, alongside American IndyCar figure Colton Herta, who must secure a super license. Lowdon, who has professional ties with Zhou, assures a fair evaluation process.
