Cadillac, the all-new Formula 1 entrant, has roped in Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez for their debut campaign next year, marking the two drivers' return after staying away from the grid for a year, Sky Sports reported.

The decision has been taken after considering their experience of wins and podiums in F1, said Mark Reuss, president of Cadillac's parent company General Motors, in an official statement. He has dubbed them as a “really good winning combination.”

Bottas is gearing up for his 36th birthday on Thursday. So far, he has secured victory in 10 races for Mercedes. He was a part of their side as Lewis Hamilton's teammate between 2017 and 2021. He even managed to score 20 pole positions, the BBC reported.
