Cadillac Formula 1 team principal Andy Lowdon has firmly rejected speculation surrounding Valtteri Bottas potentially leaving the American manufacturer’s upcoming F1 program. The rumors had been circulating in recent weeks as teams continue to finalize their driver lineups ahead of Cadillac’s highly anticipated entry into the championship.
Lowdon’s comments come as Cadillac prepares for its debut in Formula 1, with the General Motors-backed operation expected to bring significant resources and technical expertise to the grid. The team has been working to establish its driver roster and operational structure as it moves closer to competition readiness.
Bottas, the former Mercedes and Alfa Romeo driver, has been linked with various opportunities as teams evaluate their options for future seasons. However, Lowdon’s decisive statement appears to put an end to speculation about the Finnish driver’s potential departure from Cadillac’s plans, suggesting the team remains committed to its current strategic direction regarding driver selection.
