Zhou, who is managed by Cadillac team principal Graeme Lowdon, said: “This is one of the biggest and most exciting new projects that the sport has ever seen.?<\/p>\n
“I have worked with both Graeme and Valtteri for many years in various capacities, so joining the team feels like rejoining family.”<\/p>\n
Lowdon said: “We wanted a candidate who had recent F1 driving experience, is prepared to work hard as part of a team and understands the challenges of developing a car throughout the season. Zhou fits the bill perfectly. He will be a great asset to us as we go racing in 2026.”<\/p>\n
Cadillac will use Ferrari engines until their own F1 engine, designed at their in-house base at Charlotte in North Carolina,<\/a> is ready. The company, which is part of US car giant General Motors, has committed to this being in 2029.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
