Cadillac has had roadracing entries into IMSA and the WEC for years.

Personally, I think it's smart for GM to put their premium brand in F1, to try and use that roadracing experience from LeMans and Daytona to further inroads into a global market.

As for drivers, they chose a pair of good drivers who have won races, poles and podiums, who understand the workings and needs of top teams and know how to setup a car for qualifying and racing, not to mention the pre-season testing.

Herta still doesn't even have enough points for a superlicense, Pato and Palou don't have experience, and a youngster like Mick Schumacher will literally be getting in the way or contributing nothing or both.
