What happens when two world-class Formula 1® drivers, two high-performance Cadillac V-Series vehicles, and a racetrack come together? An unforgettable showdown.
Cadillac recently released a new YouTube video featuring Cadillac Formula 1® Team drivers Valtteri Bottas and Sergio “Checo” Pérez as they go head-to-head in a friendly competition behind the wheel of two of Cadillac’s most exciting performance models.
The challenge begins with the all-electric Cadillac OPTIQ-V luxury performance SUV, where both drivers tackle a demanding precision slalom course that puts the vehicle’s agility and handling to the test. Next, they climb into the exhilarating Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing performance sedan for a flying lap around the circuit, showcasing the incredible capability and engineering of Cadillac’s V-Series lineup.
Keeping a close eye on every fraction of a second is Cadillac V-Series Lead Development Engineer Alex Doss, who serves as the official timekeeper for the competition.
With Bottas and Pérez bringing their elite racing skills—and plenty of friendly rivalry—the video highlights the performance, precision, and excitement that define Cadillac’s V-Series vehicles.
Who comes out on top? You’ll have to watch the video to find out. One thing is certain: whether on the racetrack or the open road, Cadillac’s V-Series lineup continues to deliver thrilling performance worthy of world-class drivers.
