CHECO MATE

Bottas is loving the chance to start new project with Perez

- DANIEL MOXON

SERGIO PEREZ and Valtteri Bottas have plenty of miles on the clock in Formula One and their newest drive with Cadillac will be a long journey.

But they insist they have enough fuel in the tank to make it to their final destination.

Multi-race-winning drivers Bottas and Perez, also known by his nickname Checo, have signed with FI's 11th team, who join the grid next year.

Cadillac know that their maiden season will be tough and expect to be at the back of the pack. And their new drivers, both 35, say they are under no illusions.
