Several news outlets reported that Finnish driver Waltarry Botas is finalizing a deal to return to Formula 1 with Cadilac in 2026.
Botas, currently a reserve driver in Mercedes, added fuel to speculation with a chutli video posted in his X feed on Sunday.
In this, he opens the door of a cadilac SUV and interacts with someone with the camera.
“Hey wow, it’s really a good seat,” Botas says while checking the driver’s seat. “I will not object.”
“And there are two seats,” the other person said, inspiring this answer from Botas: “And they are both independent?”
But when the second voice asks if he wants to sit, Botas responds, “Not yet.”
