Who should be the drivers for GM for 2026?
I don't know why I bother since Mercedes didn't listen to my Sainz suggestion in a previous post earlier in the year and this won't be any different but I'm going to post this anyway. GM/Cadillac/Andretti will join the grid in the 2026 season. The question is who will be the drivers. Here are my guesses who may get the drive except Ugo Ugochukwu, at best he'll be on the gird in 2027. Also, Danny Ric is out. He said he wasn't interested in the ride if offered.
Jak Crawford: He'll be a F2 driver for next season and he's an Aston Martin reverse driver. Also, he's one of two Americans in the grid. He also has his super license or I think he does, he did finish 5th last season. Plus, more than likely he won't get the drive with Aston Martin unless Fernando Alonso retires after the 2025 season or Lance Stroll leaves (Good Luck with that). Why not offer Crawford a seat?
Logan Sargeant: He was a Formula One driver and would only be out of the sport for a year and a half and if GM/Cadillac are looking at an All-American lineup. Sargeant and Crawford would be the way to go. However, would he get out of his contract in Indycar and would GM consider him after his Williams Tenure? He was replaced mid-season.
Mick Schumacher: Probably as likely as Sargeant
Max Esterson: The Second American on the F2 grid but he would have to finished at least 5th to be consider and even then unlikely.
Felipe Drugovich: Another Aston Martin reverse driver and F2 champion in 2022. I think he will be a good choice if they can't get Crawford.
Valtteri Bottas: Honestly, I don't know what GM Cadillac would look for in their drivers but if they wanted to go with experience to pair up with a younger driver then why not go with Valtteri Bottas. He's a ten-time race winner.
Checo Perez: Another multi-time race winner and plenty of experience to help a young driver if Cadillac wants to go there but his last year at Red Bull didn't pan out.
