And here we are.
A ground-up project with Cadillac couldn’t be more different than his tenure driving for Mercedes alongside Lewis Hamilton, but there’s a love for the grind and natural speed still left in the 36-year-old, whose uncomplicated approach to balancing work and life makes him an ideal asset for a team that needs everything, and endears him to fans as F1’s resident dry-humour every man.
By employing the Finn and Perez, Cadillac has a line-up overqualified for the early stages of its journey, but one that excises one variable from the performance equation. Who stays longest? It’ll be intriguing to find out.
