Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to "Yes" for each driver who is officially announced as part of the Cadillac Formula 1 Team's driver lineup for the 2026 season.

You can add answers. I reserve the right to N/A them in case of random names not related to motorsports.

Official announcements from Cadillac, the FIA, or reputable motorsport news outlets will serve as the primary sources for resolution.
