Valtteri Bottas has boldly claimed that the new Cadillac Formula 1 team already boasts superior facilities compared to his former squad, Mercedes. This startling assertion comes as the American outfit endures a bruising debut campaign in the pinnacle of motorsport.
Despite having failed to score a single point in the opening 17 grands prix of the 2026 season, leaving them anchored to the foot of the constructors' world championship, the team's behind-the-scenes infrastructure has left a lasting impression. Operating out of a Silverstone facility while finalizing their new US base, the squad is laying down serious groundwork for the future.
The cutting-edge setup has clearly won over the drivers, with teammate Sergio Perez expressing total astonishment following a recent factory visit last month, stating he had never witnessed anything quite like it throughout his extensive professional racing career.
"We were at the factory, and it's very impressive. I've never seen a factory like this in my career. It's really, really impressive," Sergio Perez remarked after holding thorough discussions with engineers and departmental leaders about the project's long-term blueprint.
The Mexican driver further praised the state-of-the-art equipment, optimized platforms, and seamless departmental connectivity that make the workspace feel like an exceptionally well-organized modern home. For Valtteri Bottas, who raced for the Silver Arrows between 2017 and 2021, experiencing this level of advancement highlights the immense scale of Cadillac's project.
While results on the asphalt have yet to reflect these advancements due to a steep learning curve, the Finnish driver insists that internal improvements are visible every single weekend, transforming how the team troubleshoots issues and focuses purely on performance enhancement.
