乔治·拉塞尔看好弗雷德里克·维斯蒂加盟2027年凯迪拉克F1车队。
凯迪拉克已确认塞吉奥·佩雷斯下赛季将继续留队，但瓦尔特里·博塔斯的未来尚不确定。
乔治·拉塞尔将梅赛德斯车队预备车手弗雷德里克·维斯蒂视为加入2027年凯迪拉克F1车队的意外竞争者。
美国车队尚未确认瓦尔特里·博塔斯将成为塞吉奥·佩雷斯的队友，后者于周三签署了合同延期，目前有各种候选人出现。
凯迪拉克的试车手Colton Herta是一个选择，尽管他目前没有超级驾照，并且他在Formula 2赛季的表现非常令人失望，而即将离去的哈斯车手奥康也是可用的。
但Motorsport.com了解到这位法国人注定将成为阿斯顿·马丁的预备车手，而Vesti仍然在努力争取在2023 F2排名中获得第二名后正式进入F1的舞台。
这位24岁的车手在凯迪拉克的Hypercar职责和他在梅赛德斯的角色之间取得了平衡，他在那里完成了七次FP1的职责，包括在墨西哥的周五，当时他取代了拉塞尔。
Vesti获得了第三名，落后队友安东内利 0.074秒，落后法拉利的领跑者勒克莱尔 0.733秒，这是由于在多次长距离测试后，他完成了一个软胎圈。
“他做得真的很棒，”拉塞尔说。“我知道他真的很努力，为了有可能获得凯迪拉克车队的席位，我认为他应该得到他的机会。”
“他在与我们的团队合作上投入了大量的努力，我们都非常尊重他；他在大多数FP1练习中承担了大部分工作，并没有真正得到性能跑的机会。”
“所以我认为对我们这个团队来说很重要，我对团队说，‘我想确保他有机会展示他的能力，这是我们至少能做的’，所以是的，这很好。”"
FP1练习后，维斯蒂感到‘非常高兴’，而赫塔的情况则不尽如人意，他代替博塔斯参赛，但最终排在成绩单的末尾，比最快的车慢了3.237秒。
前IndyCar明星也落后排名第18的佩雷斯0.970秒，但随着他在下周巴西的FP1比赛中可能获得超级执照，关于他获得凯迪拉克车座的讨论正在加剧。
赫塔表示：“我想为车队做到最好。每次我上车，我都想参加Formula 1 - 这是我的目标。”
“这就是我为什么在这里做这件事。我个人希望尽快到达那里。有很多讨论正在进行，也有很多事情在我能控制之外发生。”
“我只是在车内尽力而为，并希望这能有所体现。”

George Russell tips Frederik Vesti for F1 2027 Cadillac seat
Cadillac has confirmed Sergio Perez for the next F1 season, but Valtteri Bottas' future isn't as secure
George Russell has labelled Mercedes reserve driver Frederik Vesti as a shock contender to join Cadillac for the 2027 Formula 1 campaign.
The American outfit is yet to confirm Valtteri Bottas as a team-mate to Sergio Perez - who signed a contract extension on Wednesday - for next year, with various contenders emerging.
Cadillac’s test driver Colton Herta is an option, despite his current lack of a superlicence and highly disappointing Formula 2 season, while outgoing Haas man Esteban Ocon is also available.
But Motorsport.com understands that the Frenchman is destined to become Aston Martin’s reserve, whereas Vesti is still gunning to make his official F1 debut since finishing runner-up in the 2023 F2 standings.
The 24-year-old has dovetailed Hypercar duties for Cadillac with his role at Mercedes, where he has completed seven FP1 duties, including Friday in Mexico, where he replaced Russell.
Vesti finished third, 0.074s behind stablemate Kimi Antonelli and 0.733s off Ferrari pacesetter Charles Leclerc, thanks to a late soft-tyre lap after various long-run programmes.
“He did a really good job,” said Russell. “I know he's really fighting hard to be in with a shot potentially of the Cadillac seat, and I think he deserves his chance.
“He's put a lot of effort in working with our team, we all respect him very highly; most FP1 sessions that he's done, he's had the brunt of the work and not really getting performance runs in.
“So I think it was important for us as a team, and I said to the team, 'I want to ensure that he gets an opportunity to show what he can do, that's the least that we could do', so yeah that was nice.”
Vesti was left “extremely happy” after FP1, which is more than what can be said about Herta, who stood in for Bottas but finished bottom of the timesheet and 3.237s off the pace.
The former IndyCar star was also 0.970s behind 18th-placed Perez, but talk of him getting the Cadillac seat is intensifying as he is likely to qualify for a superlicence by contesting FP1 in Brazil next week.
“I want to do the best I can for the team,” said Herta. “Every time I get in the car, I want to be in Formula 1 - that's the goal.
“That's why I'm over here doing this. Personally, I want to get there as soon as possible. A lot of discussions are happening and a lot of stuff is going on outside of what I can control.
“I'm just trying to do my best inside the car and hope that shows for something.”
