Cadillac reacts to eerie resemblance between the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce and the Valtteri Bottas-Sergio Perez announcement

Cadillac F1 reacted to their driver announcement, coinciding with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement. They highlighted the resemblance both events shared, as fans pointed it out.

The team announced Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez earlier this week as their drivers for their maiden F1 season next year. The team's approval to join the grid as the 11th team was given in March this year, which was followed by speculations around multiple experienced drivers. But Perez and Bottas remained the top runners for the spot.

After weeks of reports, the official announcement was made earlier this week, which coincided with pop singer Taylor Swift announcing her engagement to American football tight end Travis Kelce. Fans were quick to notice the coincidence, with some also pointing out that both announcements involved a blonde and a brunette. Reacting to this, the Cadillac F1 Instagram page wrote:

"F1🤝Swifties."

Valtteri Bottas aims at challenging other teams with Cadillac in 2026 F1 season

Cadillac's entry will coincide with the new regulations in Formula 1. As expected, the team would have to work hard on the research and development, to work on the cars as their much-experienced drivers would suggest.

This is one of the main reasons behind the team's signing of Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez. Both drivers have proved their competency on the grid with multiple Grand Prix victories and consistent driving. They are expected to provide enough feedback to the team, which could help them get started in the sport.

Looking at the challenge ahead of him, Bottas mentioned that he and the team would have a lot of work to do initially, but he looks forward to taking on the challenge with his teammate.

"I'm here to give everything I have to the team. With Checo, we can definitely guide to the right direction. Of course, we're realistic. It's going to be a mountain of work to do, and it's going to probably be a difficult start, because it is Formula 1 – but we're not there to stay at the back."

He further mentioned that he does not aim to be at the bottom of the championship table, and challenge other teams for some points.

"We don't want to finish last. And I believe with this structure, with this group, these people, there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to get relatively quickly up to the pace, and that way enjoy some success."

Cadillac will be the second American team on the grid since Haas F1. They will be using Ferrari's engines initially, before moving on to General Motors' power units in the 2029 season.
