Cadillac reportedly weighs replacing Perez and Bottas for 2027
Cadillac is reportedly considering replacing Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas for the 2027 Formula One season.
The American team is in its first F1 season, and it hired the experienced pair to help develop the team.
Cadillac has yet to score a point after the Singapore Grand Prix.
Perez came closest with 10th place in Monaco, but a penalty dropped him to 15th; Bottas's best finish was 13th in China.
The reported plan could mean paying off both drivers' contracts, despite their multi-year deals.
Esteban Ocon is mentioned as a possible replacement, after Haas decided not to continue with him next season.
The reported change is still being considered, and no final driver decision is stated.
