Cadillac veterans split Dutch F1 expertsCadillac's decision to build its new Formula 1 project around experienced drivers Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez has divided former Dutch racers Renger van der Zande and Jan Lammers.
Bottas, meanwhile, suffered the new team's latest fiery brake failure in Hungary and had to use a barrier to stop the car.
Van der Zande believes incidents like that prove Cadillac still needs experienced drivers.
He thinks a younger driver such as Colton Herta should only be introduced once Cadillac becomes competitive.
Former Formula 1 driver Lammers strongly disagrees, arguing that Bottas and Perez are already too established to supply the hunger a new team needs.
