Bottas’ 2027 Cadillac future remains undecided
Valtteri Bottas has returned to Formula 1 with Cadillac on a multi-year deal after spending a year as Mercedes’ third driver. But the team has not yet committed to activating the contract option that would keep him in the seat for 2027, while Sergio Perez is already confirmed through 2029.
Bottas signed a multi-year agreement with Cadillac to return to the Formula 1 grid after a season on the sidelines as Mercedes’ third driver. His position beyond next season is not yet settled, as Cadillac have not committed to triggering an option in his contract for 2027.
That uncertainty comes after Perez’s longer-term situation was clarified, with Cadillac confirming him through 2029. Reports also indicate Bottas is under pressure to retain his seat.
One name mentioned as a possible alternative for 2027 is Colton Herta. As things stand, Perez’s place is secured, while Bottas’ future with Cadillac remains unresolved.
