NASCAR's Brad Keselowski talking MIS...plus RAM Rebel X review 

Mario Andretti joins me to unpack Cadillac’s headline move: naming Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas as its drivers for the team’s 2026 Formula 1 debut. We dig into why experience matters for a first-year outfit, what Cadillac learned “pressure-testing” candidates, and how the driver pairing shapes car development, leadership, and points expectations in Year One. Mario also riffs on the state of F1’s 2026 reset, what success looks like in season one, and the ripple effects for American talent. If you’re curious how a brand-new team builds credibility from day one—and why these two veterans got the nod—this conversation is your blueprint.
