In the recent 8 Hours of Bahrain race, Cadillac's No. 12 car finished in sixth place, while the No. 38 car, which was Jenson Button's final race, finished in 16th. The No. 12 car finished sixth despite a challenging Balance of Performance (BoP) and was the only Hypercar to score points in every race that season. 

Cadillac didn’t pull off a miracle and claim its first-ever WEC title, but the V-Series.R was far stronger than expected in Bahrain.

The #12 climbed to sixth despite a clear performance deficit.

“With the BoP we had, we knew it was going to be a challenge, but we gave it absolutely everything, and we can be proud of that said Alex Lynn."

It was less positive for the #38, with Jenson Button ending his professional racing career in unlucky fashion. Hit by a penalty and an ill-timed safety car, he finished a distant 13th.

Still, with three poles, a 1-2 in Brazil, and consistent pace all year, Cadillac ends 2025 fourth in the championship, and the partnership with Jota already looks like a natural fit.

  • No. 12 Cadillac: Finished in sixth place. The drivers were Alex Lynn, Norman Nato, and Will Stevens.
  • No. 38 Cadillac: Finished in 16th place. This was Jenson Button's final professional race. He faced challenges including a penalty and an ill-timed safety car.
  • Overall season: The results concluded the season, with Cadillac tying its best standing of fourth in the Manufacturers' Championship.
