Mexico GP 2026: Cadillac probes Bottas DNF

Motorsport.com reported Cadillac is investigating the Mexico GP failure that ended Valtteri Bottas' race, with no official cause confirmed yet.

Cadillac is reported to be investigating the failure that ended Valtteri Bottas' Mexico Grand Prix, after team principal Marcin Budkowski said the team wanted to prevent a repeat. Motorsport.com reported that Budkowski made the comment after Bottas retired at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

The same report said Bottas' race ended on lap 46 as he approached Turn 1, when the front-left suspension on his car collapsed. No official cause was confirmed in the supplied material, so the reason for the DNF remains unconfirmed.

The setback came in Cadillac's first Formula 1 season in 2026. The American team has no race wins or constructors' titles, while Bottas is 23rd in the 2026 drivers' championship on 0 points after 256 entries, 10 wins, 19 poles and 67 podiums.
