Just where was he in his career? What were his aspirations? And was he excited about the project? And what was he looking to do? What did he have left to prove in his career? As we went through that meeting, those experiences really came through."I mean, he nailed the meeting. We left really excited about his candidacy. I think probably before that, maybe we're looking at a younger driver. But he was fantastic. And the experience really starts to separate itself from those who haven't been in the seat yet."Cadillac F1 team principal Graeme Lowdon further added the reason behind signing Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez:"Signing two very experienced racers like Bottas and Checo is a bold signal of intent. They’ve seen it all and they know what it takes to succeed in Formula 1. But more importantly, they understand what it means to help build a team."Their leadership, feedback, race-hardened instincts, and of course their speed will be invaluable as we bring this team to life. A big thank you to the team at Mercedes for their cooperation and understanding.”The two drivers combined have 16 races and have stood on over 100 podiums during their time in the sport. They also played a key role in the 2021 season, securing the titles for Mercedes and Red Bull.
