In 2026, a team fielded by Cadillac will enter the Formula 1 grid. The two drivers who will pilot the cars are reportedly on the cusp of being announced.

Multiple outlets are reporting that Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas have signed with the fledgling team for the 2026 season. The announcement is expected sometime next week.

Pérez last drove for the Oracle Red Bull team while Bottas spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons with Sauber. He is currently a reserve driver for Mercedes.

In selecting the two, Cadillac is opting for experience over the potential in younger drivers. The two have a combined 16 race wins and 106 podiums over their F1 careers.

Pérez was released by Red Bull after poor results in comparison to Max Verstappen, but drivers Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda have fared no better. The bulk of Bottas’ achievements came about as a teammate of Lewis Hamilton while the two were part of Mercedes’ run of eight consecutive constructor championships from 2014-21.

The new team, led by former Manor team principal Graeme Lowden, identified both drivers as primary targets early in the process, sources have told ESPN.

The General Motors racing effort through Cadillac has targeted its own engine no later than 2030. They will enter the field in 2026 with a Ferrari powerplant.

The racing effort is overseen by TWG Motorsports, a division of TWG Global, which has co-chairs Mark Walter and Thomas Tull. Dan Towriss leads TWG Motorsports as CEO. TWG Motorsports comprises Cadillac Formula 1, Andretti Global, Spire Motorsports, Wayne Taylor Racing, and Walkinshaw Andretti United.

Cadillac F1 received final approval to be the 11th team on the Formula 1 grid in March. At the time, Towriss said that they would be “accelerating our efforts — expanding our facilities, refining cutting-edge technologies, and continuing to assemble top-tier talent.”

The additions of Pérez and Bottas would mark the most important phase of adding talent to the team.

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
