I'm a Bottas fan, so I'd love to see him back on the grid.
Saw someone elsewhere mention that Sainz and/or Alonso could be an option as well.

Sainz or Ocon would be worth considering, and I don’t think Ricciardo is done either.

Doubtful Alonzo is leaving. He's also under contract for 2026 and it'll be his first Adrian Newey car he's driven. Unless he tanks this year in IndyCar, my money is for Bottas/Colton Herta lineup for 2026.

Another dark horse, depending on how he does this year, is Bearman.
He's supported by Ferrari and they're supplying the engine/drivetrain components until Cadillac is able to develop their own.

Realistically, Cadillac is going to be mediocre at best for a couple of years at least. Whoever goes there has to know they aren’t going to win any championships. They need older experienced drivers that can help them develop the car, not young drivers starting their careers in Formula 1.

^ Fair point & puts some logic to a rookie/experienced combo.
Experienced driver to help develop the car & get experience for the rookie in hopes they're competitive as the car improves

I don't understand the speculation about Herta. He came into IndyCar looking like a world beater and has mostly not impressed at all. Maybe he's matured, we'll see this year, but I hope that Cadillac isn't banking on him to make a real impact. This is a huge commitment from Cadillac/GM on a huge stage.

I don't follow Indy, so can't comment on him, just recall him being a leading name for one of the seats when it was still being referred to as Andretti F1
