Returning fan favourites Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez, with more than 500 Grand Prix starts between them, are set to make history as 'Cadillac's first-ever 'F1' driver line-up. In an exclusive for this podcast, former 'Red Bull' race-winner Perez explains why he's chosen to make his 'F1' return with the 'Cadillac F1 team' on his first day at work at the team's Silverstone facility. We lift the lid on life away from the track with 'Haas F1' hotshot Ollie Bearman. Beside every 'F1' driver is a family unit that can get left behind, but the British racer's family have taken the unusual step of supporting his career by relocating to join him in Monaco. But the move has prompted some sibling rivalry over just who gets to use the driver simulator. At 'Mercedes', Kimi Antonelli has been relying on support from soon-to-be 'Cadillac' driver Bottas in his apprentice 'F1' season. The Finnish racer is a reserve for 'Mercedes' in 2025 and has taken on a mentoring role to help guide the Italian teenager before his own return to the grid in 2026, when the master will take on his apprentice.
