It is even widely expected that Cadillac will confirm the signing of Bottas<\/a> in the coming days, with an announcement possible at the Dutch Grand Prix. The 2025 F1 season<\/a> will resume at Zandvoort on August 29-31 after the summer break, yet attention is already turning to 2026.<\/p>\n Reports have also claimed that Cadillac could announce the signing of Perez<\/a> at Monza when the Temple of Speed stages the Italian Grand Prix on September 5-7. But the Mexican might need to wait longer to know if he will join Bottas, as Cadillac boast a long list of alternatives.<\/p>\n Bottas \u2018seems certain\u2019 to sign for Cadillac, according to Autosprint<\/a>, but there is \u2018uncertainty\u2019 surrounding Perez also spearheading the GM brand\u2019s F1 debut. While the 35-year-old is the \u2018most popular\u2019 driver for Cadillac\u2019s second seat, they are looking to keep their options open.<\/p>\n READ MORE: All to know about General Motors\u2019 Cadillac F1 team from engine to drivers<\/a><\/p>\n TEAMDRIVER 1DRIVER 2AlpinePierre GaslyN\/AAston MartinFernando AlonsoLance StrollAudiGabriel BortoletoNico HulkenbergCadillacN\/AN\/AFerrariCharles LeclercLewis HamiltonHaasEsteban OconOliver BearmanMcLarenLando NorrisOscar PiastriMercedesN\/AN\/ARacing BullsN\/AN\/ARed Bull RacingMax VerstappenN\/AWilliamsAlex AlbonCarlos Sainz2026 confirmed F1 drivers<\/p>\n Cadillac are keeping close tabs on how developments unfold at Alpine<\/a> as Franco Colapinto<\/a> is yet to secure his long-term future with the Enstone squad. The Argentine has so far failed to prove that he is a clear upgrade on Jack Doohan since taking the Australian\u2019s drive this May.<\/p>\n Should Alpine elect to release Colapinto, either during the 2025 season or at the end of this year, then Cadillac could explore a swoop for the 22-year-old. Alpine paid Williams \u00a38.5m to sign Colapinto<\/a>\u00a0on a five-year loan deal back in January, with the view to him racing for them.<\/p>\n Colapinto initially joined Alpine as a reserve driver, yet he ousted Doohan after just six races as executive adviser Flavio Briatore rates the Buenos Aires native very highly. But Alpine are still waiting to see Colapinto register his first points after eight Grand Prix and one F1 Sprint.<\/p>\n Franco Colapinto should see out 2025 with Alpine, but his future is very uncertain<\/p>\n Alpine are expected to give Colapinto the rest of the 2025 F1 season<\/a> to find his form in their A525. But Briatore has not ruled out making another driver change towards the close of the campaign, if not sooner, if the Williams academy product cannot improve his performances.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Who is Alpine 2025 F1 driver Franco Colapinto?
