Better than Mercedes? Valtteri Bottas makes huge Cadillac F1 claim

Valtteri Bottas has expressed high praise for his current squad, asserting that the American newcomer outfit's infrastructure surpasses that of his former team, Mercedes. Despite failing to secure a single championship point across seventeen opening grands prix and sitting at the bottom of the 2026 constructors standings, the Silverstone operational site has deeply impressed both Bottas and his garage partner.

Sergio Perez echoed this sentiment after touring the modern workspace, noting that the equipment and layout exceeded anything else he has encountered throughout his racing career. Bottas also highlighted internal operational gains weekend by weekend, emphasizing that the focus remains on maximizing personnel output despite a steep learning curve during their inaugural campaign.
